Non perpendicular milled part shape DFM check
Non perpendicular milled part shape overview
In CNC milling, non perpendicular shape refer to side and bottom surfaces that separated by a floor fillet and are not perpendicular to each other.
When surfaces are separated by a floor fillet, the stress concentration increases at that point. When these surfaces are not perpendicular to each other, the stress concentration may be further exacerbated.
Moreover, machining two surfaces that are not perpendicular to each other requires positioning the tool at an oblique angle, leading to increased tool wear and reduced tool life.
Additionally, the uneven surface requires more machining time and requires specialized tooling and techniques.
How MTK detects non perpendicular milled part shapes
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for non perpendicular milled part shapes. The SDK checks the relevant geometry against DFM criteria to identify potential issues that can increase manufacturing complexity or cost, or lead to quality or assembly problems.
Documentation and API reference
Detailed API reference for the non perpendicular milled part shape DFM check is provided in the MTK documentation, including issue classes, detection interfaces, and integration details.
