Precision engineering

Precision engineering

Precision engineering is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering concerned with designing machines, fixtures, and other structures that have exceptionally high tolerances, are repeatable, and are stable over time. These approaches have applications in machine tools, MEMS, optomechanical design, and many other fields.
