It should also be recognized that the laser, like any other CNC servo driven machine, accumulates mechanical, thermal and electromechanical tolerances during the production cycle. For economy and quality, critical dimensions should be highlighted and functional dimensions should be detailed in accordance with their function.

The use of material cutting lasers offers designers the ability to generate intricate, close tolerance designs in materials which can be burned, melted, or vaporized.
