Tolerances are important in fabrication to ensure parts fit together properly. Manufacturing processes have inherent variability that can cause parts to be slightly larger or smaller than the nominal design. Tight tolerances reduce variability but increase costs, so tolerances should allow for some variation while still maintaining proper fit of parts.
