'''Form, Fit, and Function (F3)'''  is the identification and description of characteristics of a part or assembly. Each defines a specific aspect of the part to help engineers match parts to needs. The F3 framework increases design change flexibility by allowing changes to the part with minimal documentation and design cost as long as the fit, form and function of the product is maintained constant.

==  Definitions ==

'''Fit:''' refers to the ability for the part or feature to connect to, mate with, or join to another feature or part within an assembly. If a part requires “fit” it usually implies that there are relatively tight assembly tolerances that must be met in order for the part to be useful.
