Small wall draft angle DFM check
Small wall draft angle overview
The small wall draft angle issue refers to a situation where the wall draft angle is smaller than the recommended one.
An appropriate draft angle is required to facilitate removal of the part from the mold and minimizing its damage. Also too small draft angle can lead to defects like drag marks.
Small wall draft angle detection conditions
MTK identifies this issue when the following condition is met:
where:
- — analyzed wall draft angle
- — minimum wall draft angle
How MTK detects small wall draft angles
MTK automatically analyzes B-Rep CAD models for small wall draft angles. 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 small wall draft angle DFM check is provided in the MTK documentation, including issue classes, detection interfaces, and integration details.
