Parallelism

Parallelism refers to the property of two surfaces that are aligned in such a way that they run exactly parallel to each other at all points. This means that the two surfaces have the same distance from each other in every area and never converge or diverge.

This precision is of great importance, particularly in manufacturing technology and mechanical engineering, as it influences the accuracy and functionality of components and machines. Parallelism is often ensured by special measuring and testing techniques and is a critical quality characteristic in the production of precision parts.
