First Rz-Ra calculator and fit calculator with quantity processing function and reciprocal calculation
"FACTUREE - The online manufacturer" launches online tools for calculating production parts
Berlin, May 25, 2020 – Following a successful beta phase, Online Manufacturer FACTUREE is now offering full versions of its two new online tools – the first online calculator on the market to convert Rz/Ra roughness values and the first fit calculator to include a quantity processing function and reciprocal calculation. As an Online Manufacturing network, FACTUREE specializes in the easy procurement of CNC, sheet metal and 3D printed parts. Both of their new online tools are aimed at supporting engineers and students in designing and working with production parts. They are available free of charge at

Online Manufacturer FACTUREE uses digitalization, automation, and networking to offer its customers an advanced approach to procuring production parts. The company’s new online tools will help users in their everyday engineering tasks, with both solutions giving FACTUREE a unique selling point on the market.
"We have developed the first online calculator for converting roughness values Ra to Rz in all directions. There are various ways of specifying the surface quality of production parts. The most widely used are the center roughness value Ra and the roughness depth Rz. Since a direct conversion of Rz and Ra is not easily possible, there was no online tool for this until now. Our calculator outputs the average value of a conversion interval determined by us, which is sufficient in practice and provides significantly more accurate results than various rules of thumb circulating on the Internet," explains Benjamin Schwab, Head of Marketing & Sales at FACTUREE.
FACTUREE also provides an optimized fitting calculator. This is the first on the market to offer a quantity processing function and a reciprocal calculation. "The online fit calculator can not only calculate the maximum toleranced dimensions for a given nominal dimension and fit type, but is also the first fit calculator to do so reciprocally. This can be helpful if, in addition to the nominal dimension, only the tolerance deviations and not the tolerance classes are specified on drawings. If both the internal and external fit are specified, the fit type, for example clearance fit, is also output and visualized in an understandable way," explains Benjamin Schwab.
FACTUREE has precisely tailored the online tools to customer requirements. Even in the beta phase, the tools were being accessed an average of over 1,000 times per day.
"The demand for the new online calculators is very high. During the beta phase, we collected feedback from users, processed it and used it to create the full version. For the fit calculator, for example, there was a request to also display the tolerance center. We have implemented this feature. In the future, we will continue to listen to the requirements of the community and gradually implement other tools that are in demand," explains Benjamin Schwab.
