Design Warnings
Design Warnings
Understand verifications and manufacturing limits.
Automatic Verifications
When you submit a drawing, we perform verifications to ensure we can produce the submitted part according to quality standards.
Respect Specifications
Parts must meet required specifications for each material. Consult our specific pages for mechanical properties, compatible finishes and usage recommendations for each material in the materials section.
Two Possible Scenarios
When you submit a drawing or select a material not meeting required specifications, 2 things can happen:
1. Popup Warning
You receive a design warning as popup, mentioning the problem with submitted drawing. This allows you to correct your design before continuing.
2. Automatic Filtering
If your design is only possible in certain materials and not in another, only compatible materials are displayed.
Example: 32" x 32" Part
For a 32" x 32" part, a wide variety of materials will be available, but not Lamacoid plates, chipboard or acetal as they have 24" maximum width.
Operations Limited by Material
When you select a material and an operation is not available for selected material, it won't be offered, or only offered dimensions will be displayed.
Example: 1/16" Aluminum
For 1/16" thick aluminum, the largest thread offered is M4x0.7 or #10-32, to have minimum thread engagement. Larger threads won't be in the offered threads list.
Types of Warnings
Design warnings include, but are not limited to:
- Minimum part size
- Maximum part size
- Drawing with open contours
- Unsupported drawing format
