Rules the template builder and file checks use. Confirm with the shop before relying on them for critical parts.

FeatureRuleWhy
Smallest hole or slot1 × 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 edge1 × thicknessThin edges distort or burn away.
Material between holes (web)1 × thicknessThin webs warp from the heat.
Hole to bend line2.5 × thickness + inside bend radiusHoles closer to a bend stretch into ovals.
Shortest flange (bend line to edge)4 × thicknessThe press brake die needs something to hold.
Bend angle5° to 135°Outside this range ask us for a review.
Part sizeFrom 0.25 in up to 72 × 144 in (laser table)Larger parts are quoted by our team.
