Reviewer 2 Report

This manuscript proposed a point-by-point-contact-based computation method for position and orientation deviation of multiple planes. The effects of surface deviations and multiple types of positioning are comprehensively considered during the computation, which is quite an interesting attempt. The paper is innovative and well organized. However, some details need to be improved. It is recommended to consider the following aspects:

1.Why are the two assembly states A and B used as examples to discuss the determination of contact points and PODs? It is suggested to add an explanation of the representativeness of these two assembly states.

2.In Section 4.1, the influence of the error of spindle axis, guide and milling cutter on the mating plane is discussed. But in addition to these errors, the contact status, such as normal contact stiffness and asperity interaction, will also affect the shape of the mating plane. It is suggested to add the review of relevant contents in introduction.

3.The influence of point cloud size on accuracy and computational efficiency is studied at the end of Sect. 4, which is of reference significance to the computation of surface deviations. It is suggested to give a recommended value of mesh size considering both accuracy and efficiency for the convenience of subsequent research in this field.

4.Please check the superscript of ordinal words. For example, in the second paragraph of Sect. 2.3, “The nth contact point” should be corrected.

5.The quality of Figure 14 needs to be improved.
