As outlined by Eigen Engineering in the article, “Precision Tooling Vs. Super Precision Tooling: Difference Explained,” understanding the differences between precision and super precision tooling is essential for achieving optimal results in manufacturing.
Precision tooling is ideal for producing high-volume parts with lower tolerances, super precision tooling is necessary for components that demand extremely tight tolerances and exceptional accuracy. Precision tools often require more manual finishing, whereas super precision tools — typically made with materials like tungsten carbide — can maintain higher cutting speeds and greater wear resistance.
Super precision systems also incorporate complex measuring technologies to continuously adjust and ensure minimal deviation during production. Industries such as medical device manufacturing heavily rely on these tools to meet stringent standards. However, the cost and complexity of super precision tooling are significantly higher, requiring specialized training, costly materials, and detailed setup processes.
