I agree that the mould tolerances would be higher than the part.
I was assuming the referenced article was referring to the parts,
though. (I don't want to sign up for a new Web Account to read
it, until I've heard back from their site admin).
I wish TLC wasn't so tight-lipped about their manufacturing
capabilities. Other companies bubble over sideways to tell
you about what they can do.
