Small screw boss hole base radius DFM check
Small screw boss hole base radius overview
The small screw boss hole base radius issue refers to a situation where there is sharp corners at the base of the hole in a boss. Proper base radius value is required to minimize potential defects caused by failure of the core pin.
Small screw boss hole base radius detection conditions
MTK identifies this issue when the following condition is met:
where:
- — hole base radius in analyzed boss
- — wall thickness
- — minimum hole base radius to wall thickness ratio
How MTK detects small screw boss hole base radii
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for small screw boss hole base radii. 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.
