Abstract
The focus of this publication is a review of the state of the art in tolerance analysis, synthesis, and transfer for geometric and dimensional tolerances in sheet metal forming and the integration solutions with computer-aided process planning systems. In this context, the general tolerance methods are first described. Then, the mathematical models for sheet metal tolerance analysis and synthesis are examined in detail. To address the CAPP modeling concerns, the paper is then followed up with a brief review of past research works related to feature-based process planning. Finally, those imperative future research areas are identified.
