Rules the template builder and file checks use. Confirm with the shop before relying on them for critical parts.
| Feature | Rule | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Smallest hole or slot | 1 × material thickness, and at least 0.04 in (1.0 mm) | Smaller holes may not cut cleanly; the quote is checked by our team. |
| Hole to part edge | 1 × thickness | Thin edges distort or burn away. |
| Material between holes (web) | 1 × thickness | Thin webs warp from the heat. |
| Hole to bend line | 2.5 × thickness + inside bend radius | Holes closer to a bend stretch into ovals. |
| Shortest flange (bend line to edge) | 4 × thickness | The press brake die needs something to hold. |
| Bend angle | 5° to 135° | Outside this range ask us for a review. |
| Part size | From 0.25 in up to 72 × 144 in (laser table) | Larger parts are quoted by our team. |
