ABSTRACT
Form tolerances are not included in most linear Tolerance Stackups. In most cases, the
form of features in the chain of Dimensions and Tolerances has little or no effect on the
result of the Tolerance Stackup, as the form tolerance is almost always smaller than the
location tolerance. The Tolerance Stackup problem is idealized, and these tolerances are
not included in the chain of Dimensions and Tolerances. Usually there is little risk in
omitting form tolerances from the Tolerance Stackup.
