Typical 3D printing accuracy: SLA ±0.2 mm / ±0.2 %, MJF and SLS ±0.3 mm / ±0.3 %, FDM ±0.5 mm / ±0.5 % (whichever is greater applies). Specify critical dimensions – we will check them.
“±0.3 mm or ±0.3 %” means: for a 50 mm part – ±0.3 mm (0.3 % would be only 0.15 mm); for a 200 mm part – ±0.6 mm (0.3 % is greater than 0.3 mm).
Not directly after printing. Such a hole must be reamed after production; note this in the comments.
