Developer open-sources ISO 286 fit tables as code

A developer has released an open-source, code-based subset of the ISO 286-2 standard, which defines limits and fits for mechanical tolerances, replacing the usual PDF lookup tables. The release is aimed at CAD and engineering tooling, letting software compute tolerance values directly instead of consulting static documents. Discussion so far is modest but favourable among engineering and open-source communities interested in making standards data machine-readable.
Why now: Engineers appreciate tools that make standards data computable rather than locked in PDF tables.
