You’ve spent weeks perfecting the geometry of your part. The FEA looks solid, the tolerances are tight, and the assembly is ready for a production run. But then the parts arrive from the lab or a service provider, and they don't look: or feel: the way you expected. The surface is grainy, the o-ring groove is leaky, or the "smooth" face is covered in stair-steps.
