precision engineering
Meticulous component fabrication
Precision engineering is the design and manufacture of components with extremely tight tolerances—parts that must fit together or function with minimal deviation from exact specifications.
The field encompasses everything from Swiss watches to aerospace components to surgical instruments.
The satellite's guidance system required precision engineering to within thousandths of a millimeter.
