Why RD8 Is Better Than Alternative Tolerance Tools?

The RD8 Software helps you review and optimize tolerances in your assembly to make it resistant to variation.

Use the tool to guide design decisions early on before 3D, and utilize automated features to identify critical areas in your interfaces.

Easy to Use for Advanced Calculations and Complex Products

No need for expert training - get started in minutes.

Drag-and-drop interface, automated path finding, 2D sketch-mode, no setup required to get started.

Built for Engineers, Not Analysts

From individual engineers to full R&D orgs - RD8 works across.

Use your own STEP files. Understand results and influence of parameters instantly. No need to be a tolerance wizard.

Live Parameter and Analysis Collaboration Across Teams

Complete tolerance loops 10x faster than with Excel, PowerPoint and traditional CAD.

Work in real time with colleagues. Share stacks. Review results and impact across product. No more stale spreadsheets.

"Tolerances Are Critical
- And Painfully Outdated"

Most engineers still juggle Excel, 2D drawings, and emails to make high-stakes tolerance decisions for their products.

"You change one value in Excel, and suddenly everything breaks. It takes 3 hours just to validate a simple change."

- Mechanical Engineer, Consumer Electronics

"It’s like duct-taping a workflow together from six different tools. None of them talk to each other."

- Mechanical Engineer, Robotics Startup

"If someone tweaks a nominal in CAD, we often don’t know until a test fails. There's no traceability."

- Design Engineer, Medical Devices

"It’s hard to explain tolerance impact when there’s no way to see it. Stakeholders just don’t get it."
