Basic Modeling Rules

Modeling Rules: Bending Example
The sheet metal thickness must be uniform.  
  • Design inner radius (Rinner) of a bend as follows: 0 ≤ Inner radius ≤ ThicknessDesign outer radius (Router) as follows:Inner radius Rinner + Thickness
  • *Automatic quotation is not possible for models with non-uniform thickness. The model modification function can be used to fix these models and may allow automatic quotation.
    For more information, please click here.
 
Feed bending (FR bending)
  • The inner bending radius should be 10 or more. The outer bending radius should be inner radius + thickness.
  • Please refer to the following section for the range of the bending radius.

Hole Identification Specifications

  • After CAD data is uploaded to meviy, it is internally converted into a neutral file format. During this conversion, the hole type information (tapped hole, countersunk hole, etc.) is lost.
  • As a default hole recognition setting, hole diameter and shape features are detected and compared to the hole information database to infer the hole information that will be carried over to the meviy platform.

However, SOLIDWORKS users can use a new function that allows you to change user settings to directly transfer original hole information from CAD data to meviy.
Please click here for more information.

Countersink Modeling and Selectable Sizes

Modeling Rules for Countersunk Holes

When a conical shape element is detected, it will be identified as a countersink.
Modeling Rules Example
Model the angle of the conical shape to be 90°. The ratio between the outer hole diameter (D) and inner hole diameter (d) must be as follows: If d ≤ 4.0 mm, the ratio must be above 1.4, If d > 4.0 mm, the ratio must be above 1.7. Example

Countersunk Hole Identification

The countersunk hole is recognized through two steps below.

STEP1

  • The pilot hole diameters for countersunk holes for each CAD package are registered in the meviy hole information database. Detected hole diameters will be checked against this during modeling (see table below).

  • *2 Pilot hole diameter for Siemens PLM-NX ISO model

STEP2

Once the countersunk hole is recognized according to the aforementioned modeling rules, the nominal diameter is determined according to the pilot hole diameter range. (Table below)

If the detected hole diameter does not match any of the entries on the list of pilot hole diameters, the hole is treated as a through hole (or tapped hole).

However, you can change the hole type or hole diameter when configuring the quote settings.

Tapped Hole Identification and Selectable Sizes

Tapped Hole Identification

  • Hole diameter information in meviy’s hole information database is registered corresponding to the nominal diameters of tapped holes from each uploadable file extension. Detected hole diameters are checked against the table below (Table 1).
  • *If the detected diameter does not match any entry in the table, the hole will be treated as a through hole. However, you can change the hole type or nominal diameter when configuring the quote settings.
  • *If a diameter corresponds to multiple nominal diameters (below, 5.00 mm), the larger nominal diameter (M6) will be prioritized and selected.

Hanging Holes for Plating/Painting

When uploading a part in meviy and selecting a plating or painting, please note that a small hole, which should be between Ø 4 to Ø 5.2 mm, needs be added in one corner of your part so that the part can be manufactured with the desired plating or painting. 

If the part exceeds a length of 420mm or the weight of 8 kg, please make sure that at least 2 holes are added to the 3D CAD model to hang the part.

 

Depending on the size and shape of the part, additional holes may need to be added for hanging.

 

If the part cannot be offered automatically, you are welcome to contact us to find a solution.

Modeling Rules for Perforated Metal

Modeling RulesExample
  • When requesting a quote for perforated metal parts, model the part using either no holes or only through holes (mounting holes).
  • If the number of through holes exceeds a certain number, automatic quotation may not be possible.
  • (There is no need to model the staggered/lattice-like hole patterns characteristic of perforated metals.)
Hole Identification Specifications

Selectable nut sizes

Upper limit of the nut's pilot hole diameter

  • On meviy, when you would select nut mounting, please change the hole information indication for mounting holes.
  • You can select press-fit, weld (spot), or weld (arc) as the mounting method.
  • However, multiple mounting methods cannot be used on the same model.
  • The nominal diameters which can be selected depend on the hole diameter of the mounting hole.
  • The upper limit of hole diameter is specified for each nominal diameter. Please refer to the table below.
Press-fit nut
Press-fit nut nominal diameter Upper limit of the pilot hole diameter (d) Example
M3 d ≦ 5.5
M4 d ≦ 7.0
M5 d ≦ 8.0
M6 d ≦ 10.0
M8 d ≦ 13.0

Maximum number of nuts which can quote automatically

  • As a condition of the automatic quotation, there is a limit that the number of nuts mounted per model. Please refer to the table below.
  • If the number of nuts is more than the limit, meviy support can provide a quotation (request a manual quotation).
  • If you wish to use weld (arc) nuts, please request a quotation from meviy support regardless of the number of nuts.
Types of nut Maximum number of nut which can automatic quotation per model
Press-fit nut 12
Weld (spot) nut 12

Select the size of nut

  • Selectable sizes vary by material and thickness. Please refer to the table below.

  • *1 The hole may be deformed if it is below the minimum value.

    The dimensions are therefore inaccurate, but will be processed as they are.

  • *2 If the distance is under the minimum value, re-tapping will be necessary and the fit may be affected.

Example

If there are internal angles of less than 90°, machining may not be possible even within the safe value range. If this is the case, meviy Support will contact you.

Bending Conditions

Bending Interference

  • For sheet metal parts, the meviy platform performs interference analysis for the bending process.
  • The forming will be deemed impossible if the results of the analysis suggest there will be interference with the die.

Example 1) Model image before and after bending during normal conditions

曲げ加工の干渉

Example 2) Model image where die interference occurs

Bending interference
  • If a warning message is displayed, check the part for any interference using “Check the interference image” and consider changing the shape. 
  • After taking corrective action, re-upload the 3D model and check the revised quotation results. 
  • The design guidelines for C-bends and stepped bends (Z-bends) are provided below as more detailed examples. See below.

Design Guidelines for C-Bends and Stepped Bends (Z-Bends)

To prevent die interference, design models with reference to the standard shapes shown below.

Modeling Rules Example
  • When outer dimension A is less than or equal to outer dimension C, set inner dimension B so that it is greater than A.
  • Outer dimensions A and C must be at least the minimum bending height (See machining limits: minimum bending height, mentioned above)
C-bend
  • The stepped bend height should be equal to dimension A plus double the plate thickness (t).
  • Dimension A must be equal to or greater than the minimum bending height (See machining limits: minimum bending height, mentioned above).
C-bend

However, the meviy platform determines whether it is possible to manufacture the model based upon positive results of the interference analysis. (Examples given below)

Example 3) C-shaped bending interference: Adjust the size of the channel web in order to clear any interference (the figure on the right shows the analysis image).

 Example 4) Stepped bending interference: Adjust the bending height to clear any interference (the figure on the right shows the analysis image).

Presence of Edges Parallel to the Bend Line

Any backgauges used in the bending process, along with the edges of parts, are taken into consideration in the interference analysis of the bending process. The angle of the part during the bending process may not be stable if there are no edges parallel to the bend line, creating a risk that the bend may not be made in the correct position. If the below message is displayed, consider changing the shape such that the model includes edges parallel to the bend line.

Example 1) No edges parallel to the bend line

 Example 2) Edge parallel to the bend line [automatic quoting available]

Minimum distance between cutout and bend

  • The bending process is carried out by placing the workpiece (to be bent) on a die and punching it from above.
  • However, if the shape of the workpiece does not align on both ends of the die, it cannot be bent.
  • For the minimum distance between the cutout and the bend, we recommend the following.
  • Please note that if the value falls below the minimum value, the bending line may shift because part of the workpiece is no longer covered by the bending die.
  • The dimensions will be inaccurate, but will be processed as they are.
  • In the case of a part that falls below the limit value, it may not be possible to process it. In this case, we will contact you.
  •  
Modelling rules Location
  • For plate thickness t, the limit value of h should be as follows
  • 0.8 ≦ t ≦ 2.0, limit value = 5t
  • 2.3 ≦ t ≦ 9.0, the limit value = 4t
  • For plate thickness t, the minimum and limit values of b should be as follows
  • 0.8 ≦ t ≦2.0, guaranteed value = 2t, limit value = t
  • 2.3 ≦ t ≦ 9.0, guaranteed value = none, limit value = 2t

Confirmation of nut interference during bending

  • In the interference analysis during bending, the analysis is performed with the 3D shape of the nut reproduced for the part where the nut can be mounted.
  • If interference with the die is found as a result of the analysis, the area will be judged that the nut cannot be attached.

Sheet Metal Quoting Error Troubleshooting

  • When uploading a model to meviy, a “Quotation failure” error may occur.
  • Below is an overview of why these errors occur and how to resolve them,as well as some example errors.

What is a quotation failure?

Appearance of Edge Breaking

Finish of light Edge Breaking

  • There is a possibility of minor scratches on the appearance because a double-sided deburring machine is used for eliminating burrs.
  • Edge breaking and engraving cannot both be specified on the same model. The edge breaking process can cause the engraving to fade.
  • Transparent resin parts will have the edge breaking finish as standard.

Finish of C/R Edge Breaking (All Around R0.2 or Larger / Corner C1)

  • Edges of sheet metal surfaces are chamfered to R0.2 or larger using a double-sided deburring machine, and product corners are chamfered to C1 by laser processing.
  • Fine scratches may occur on the surface during Edge Breaking of edges of sheet metal surfaces.
  • C/R Edge Breaking is not available when combined with engraving service, as characters may become faint.

About Hairline Direction

  • EN 1.4301 equiv.(single-sided hairline finish) has a hairline finish on the main appearance surface. (See the figure on the right)
  •  
  • The polishing direction of the hairline finish is called the “hairline direction,” and in the meviy sheet metal service, the longitudinal direction of the unfolded drawing created by expanding the 3D model shape is used as the hairline direction.
  •  
  • If you would like to use a different direction, please contact meviy support for a quote.
Einseitige feine Linienstruktur (Hairline-Finish)
Logic to determine the longitudinal direction of the development
Calculates the maximum rectangle of the unfolded drawing, and develops horizontally in the direction of the longest side of the rectangle.
Logic to determine the longitudinal direction of the development
Shape with arbitrary hairline direction
In some cases, the maximum rectangle of the unfolded drawing is not defined, or the longest side of the rectangle cannot be defined (See the figure on the right.). For such shapes, the hairline direction is optional, and you can specify the desired direction in the quotation in meviy support.
Effects on unfolded dimension calculation
  • The effect of expansion due to bending must be taken into account when calculating the unfolded dimensions for manufacturing.
  •  
  • In the case of EN 1.4301 equiv.(single-sided hairline), the expansion is about twice the thickness of the plate at each bending point, so the unfolded dimensions become shorter by that amount. As a result, please note that the longitudinal direction in the 3D model and the unfolded drawing may be switched. (See the figure on the right)
Effects on unfolded dimension calculation

About pre-finished sheets

Quality Control of Nut Mounted Products

Regarding the appearance of nut mounted products

Product with press-fit nut

  • EN 1.0330 equiv. (Electrolytic Zinc Plating) and EN 1.0330 equiv. (Galvanized),EN AW-5052 equiv. ( pre-finished anodized plate (clear)) and EN AW-5052 equiv. ( pre-finished anodized plate (black)) may have some plating peeling due to nut mounting.
  • Installation of nuts near the edge of the plate may cause the edge to swell.

Product with weld (spot) nut

  • For products with spot-welded nuts on steel materials,remove burns by using a file or similar tool. Scratch marks may appear due to the filing.
  • EN 1.0330 equiv. (Electrolytic Zinc Plating) and EN 1.0330 equiv. (Galvanized) may have some plating peeling due to nut mounting.
    Spot-welded nuts on stainless steel will be removed the burn marks by electrolytic polishing.

    Also, polishing to remove burns is not performed because it causes plating to peel off.

  • The projection part of the weld nut may be eluted, but the following items are inspected to confirm that there is no problem with fastening.

    Finish marks may remain.

  • – Bolts can pass through
  • – The projection part is not convex more than the material thickness

Regarding the Strength Warranty for Nut mounted Products

Product with press-fit nut

  • We do not guarantee the strength of products with press-fit nuts, but we will ship them after confirming that there are no problems with fastening.

Product with weld (spot) nut

  • We do not guarantee the strength of products with weld (spot) nuts, but we will ship them after confirming that there are no problems with fastening.In addition, periodic evaluations are conducted in accordance with JIS B1196.

Quotable Shapes

Machining Direction

  • The machining direction can be perpendicular and parallel to the 6 rectangular faces.
  • Certain machining operations requiring angles relative to the XYZ axes may be performed using multi-axis machining centers or specialized fixtures.
  • *It is possible to process diagonal holes with the hole axis inclined to all 3 axes.

Machining Positions

The green areas below indicate points that can be machined. The yellow areas indicate points that cannot be machined and are therefore not possible with meviy.

Yellow areas can be adjusted or deleted to make an eligible shape.

(1) Pocket Shapes

The shape of a pocket (area cut by the end mill) varies depending on the placement of chamfers and curves (convex and concave). Here are some examples:

The green areas indicate points that can be machined. The yellow areas indicate points that cannot be machined and therefore cannot handled by meviy.
Yellow areas can be adjusted or deleted to make an eligible shape.

(2) Closed Pockets

With pockets that are enclosed by 4 faces, concave curves are required on all 4 corners (whether it is a through pocket or blind pocket), as shown in the left image below.
(Because pockets are machined with an end mill, sharp corners are not possible.)

When adding chamfers as in the images below, up to C15 is possible.
(Chamfers above C15 are machined with end mills, so a conical shape like that below is not possible.)

(3) Open Pockets ①

For pockets not surrounded by 4 faces, some shapes can be created without concave curves.

However, curves are required if the pocket is a blind hole. (This is because a curve will always be formed in the machining direction.)

When adding chamfers as in the images below, up to C15 is possible.
For shapes like the image on the right below, an end mill can be used for chamfering, so chamfers above C15 are possible.

Shapes like those below are machined with a chamfer cutter, so a curve like the left or middle images above will be made at the chamfered intersection.

(5) Holes ①

Unlike pockets, multi-directional machining can be used for holes.
It is possible to add multiple smaller holes or a slotted hole in the lower step of a counterbore hole.

(6) Holes ②
Multi-step holes with more than two steps are not possible. As in the left image below, the hole in the middle step must be the narrowest (in order to work with our system). The shapes shown in the middle and right images below (multiple stepped holes or the largest diameter in the middle step) are not possible with meviy.
(7) Slotted Holes ①

As with round holes, multi-directional machining can be used for slotted holes, and counterboring can be used to create multi-stepped holes.

(8) Slotted Holes ②

More than 2 steps are possible.
The middle step cannot be the longest hole, as in the right image below. However, unlike round holes, slotted holes can feature multiple steps that narrow from the top down, as in the middle image below.

(9) Holes + Chamfers or Curves ①

Chamfers around the mouth of a round or slotted hole are possible up to C15.
It is not possible to add convex curves to the rim of round or slotted holes.

(10) Holes + Chamfers or Curves ②

If the corner of a round or slotted hole is curved, the radius of curvature cannot exceed 0.5.

If a corner is C-chamfered or has a radius of curvature below 0.5, the end product may differ from the model. (If adding a curve and chamfer to a counterbore like the left image below, the hole is machined with an end mill, producing a corner that is sharp or within a 0.5 radius of curvature. For a precision or tapped hole with a pilot hole, like the right image below, the hole is machined by a drill, producing an angled surface.)

It is not possible to add a chamfer or curve to an already curved surface.

Delivery options by material and finish

  • The following materials and surface treatments are possible.
  • *Depending on shape and size, hanging holes may be necessary for surface treatment. Refer to the Design Guidelines for information on hanging holes.
  • *Steel between materials EN 1.1191 equiv and EN 1.1203 equiv may be used as an equivalent to EN 1.1206 equiv.

Quality assurance for Heat Treated products

Caution

  • The hardened depth and distribution of heat treated areas may vary depending on the thickness and shape of the material.
  • When parts are heat treated, the outer surface tends to be harder, while the inner areas tend to remain softer. During inspection the hardening will be confirmed to be uniform on average.
  • The surface can be cleaned by sandblasting after hardening. The accuracy is not reduced by this process. The blasting method cannot be specified.
  • Grinding may be performed during the finishing process.
  • Grinding cannot be specified. Whether to grind is decided in the factory under the aspect of quality assurance.
  • Hardness measurement marks may remain in areas. To confirm the inspection points in advance, please add information in the comments and request a manual quote.

Shape Disparity between 3D Model and Finish

In general, the product will be true to the 3D CAD data. However, in the following cases, there may be differences between the 3D CAD data and the actual product.

Internal/External Sharp Corners

  • If an external corner is sharp or is less than C0.5, the finish will be as follows:

    · External corner C0.1 to 0.5 or less

    For internal sharp corners, the finish will be as follows:

    · Internal corner R0.1 to R0.5 or less

The bottom shape of the blind hole

  • Even if the bottom of the model is flat, the finished product may be a cone shape due to processing characteristics, and vice versa. This may cause the hole to penetrate, interfere with other shape elements, deform, or bulge.
  • If not acceptable, please fill the comment field of hole information instructions with “hole diameter(ø), depth, flat bottom” and request a manual quotation from meviy support. We will shortly provide you a formal quotation.

The pilot-hole depth may not be machined exactly as shown in the model, and if the effective depth (h) exceeds the reference value [model depth minus pilot-hole remaining depth] the pilot hole may penetrate through and interfere with other shape elements.

The pilot-hole diameter may also not be machined exactly as shown in the model.

Pilot hole for tapped/precision hole
Pilot-hole depth reference value = pitch × 2.5 + 2 mm
Pilot hole for tapped/precision hole
Pilot-hole remaining depth reference value = 2.7 mm

Corner relief shape for pocket grinding

When grinding is specified on the inner surface of a pocket, a relief shape is created in the corners.
Relief groove Width 2~3mm, Max. 4mm
Relief hole Ø2~3 approx. Ø4 max.

Points of Note when 3D Modeling

The manufacturing process takes the 3D CAD data to be exact.

Do not forget to model the following shape elements.

Radius (R) Required for End-Mill Trajectory End Point/Turnaround Point.

The end-mill trajectory will always have an R at the end point and the turnaround point.

Please model an R of at least 0.75 based on end-mill diameter and blade length.

The R required for an automatic estimate depends on the depth of the pocket machining.

The larger the R, the larger the diameter of the end mill that can be used. This means a shorter machining time and a lower cost.

No Modeling Required for End-Mill Nose R

Do not model nose R.(The nose R is the minuscule R at the corner of the end-mill tip.)

If a nose R is present, the machining direction cannot be accurately determined, and an automatic estimate is not possible.

Chamfers Over C0.5 Must be Modeled

Chamfers greater than C0.5 must be modeled.

For external sharp corners or corners of C0.5 and smaller, this finish will be C0.1 to 0.5 or less.

Hanging Holes for Surface Treatment Must Be Modeled

  • For trivalent chromate, Hard Chrome Plating, all anodized aluminum, and passivation, the part requires holes from which it can be hung and immersed in the treatment material.
  • Model the hanging holes with a combination of two or more of the following shapes. You can use any of the shapes multiple times in the same combination.
  • • Through holes of ø3.5 or greater (precision holes cannot be used)
  • • Slotted holes with a width of 3.5 or greater (precision slotted holes cannot be used)
  • • Closed pockets with width 3.5 or greater
  • • Tapped through-holes of M5 or greater

Recognizing Different Types of Hole

Shape Elements Identified as Holes

  • In the CNC Milling service, the following shape elements are identified as holes.
  • Elements identified as holes can be switched to straight holes or precision holes.
  • If the hole diameter meets certain criteria, you can also switch to tapped holes, insert holes or countersunk holes.
  • For one-step holes and two-step holes, the hole type can be changed at each step.
  • See here for positions where a chamfer can be created in one-step and two-step holes.
  • You can also specify the dimensional tolerance from the hole center.

Recognizing Straight Holes

Any shape that is identified as a hole, but is not initially recognized to be a tapped hole or a countersunk hole, is identified as a straight hole.

Settings for Precision Holes

Any shape identified as a hole can be changed to a precision hole by changing the hole diameter tolerance type of the straight hole. See here for more information about how to switch to precision holes.

Recognizing Tapped Holes

meviy sets the pilot-hole diameter based on the user-set “Tapped Hole Identification Settings” and the file extension (see table below). If the model’s hole diameter matches the settings, it is identified as a tapped hole.

If holes have not been automatically assigned as tapped holes at initial upload, you can also change the hole type manually as long as the hole diameter is within the threshold.

You can also change from tapped holes to straight or insert holes.

  • Select “User Settings” in the user menu in the top-right of the screen.
  • You can change the settings from the “Tapped Hole Identification Settings” menu.
  • Once you have changed the settings, click “Change.”
For native files: select the CAD program used to create the file
For intermediate files: select the CAD program used to create the file
*In order to improve the accuracy of the automatic assignment of tapped holes, you should always try to select the original CAD program used to create the file.
Example: CATIA → SOLIDWORKS (upload) CAD Software Settings
✓ Select: CATIA
X Don’t select: SOLIDWORKS
*If the native file is different from the CAD software settings, the CAD software setting logic will be used for recognizing tapped holes.
Please note

It is recommended that you use the hole commands to model holes. The machining service is designed for modeling generated with the various CAD hole commands, and using the hole commands improves the accuracy of the automatic assignment of tapped holes.

 

(Automatic tapped-hole assignment can also be used when modeling with cutting. However, if there is any discrepancy in the logic, tapped holes cannot be automatically assigned, and holes may end up as straight holes or other types of hole.)

 Please note (SOLIDWORKS users only)

The machining service refers to the CAD names in the SOLIDWORKS Tapped Hole Identification Settings as “SOLIDWORKS(A)” and “SOLIDWORKS(B).” The differences between the two are as shown below.

Select according to your modeling specifications.

If a user of modeling specification “SOLIDWORKS(B)” has set the CAD name to “Use file type” in the Tapped Hole Identification Settings, the “SOLIDWORKS(A)” logic will take precedence.

“SOLIDWORKS(B)” users must set the CAD name to “SOLIDWORKS(B).”

The tapped hole identification logic for the machining service is shown below.

*The machining service’s tapped hole identification logic is designed to round to three decimal places.

*The CAD in the following tables assumes the default versions of the following are used.

It may not work, depending on version upgrades and personal settings.

Settings for Insert Holes

EN 1.4301 equiv.

Insert Material:
EN 1.4301 equiv.

When the quoted material is made of aluminum or resin, the machining service can select insert holes within the threshold using logic equivalent to the tapped-hole identification logic.

The insert material is EN 1.4301 equiv.

There are four nominal lengths for each diameter: 0.5D, 1D, 1.5D and 2D.

However, the number of selectable diameters is M2 to M12, unlike for tapped holes.

Recognizing Countersunk Holes

Conical shapes that meet the following conditions will be identified as countersunk holes.

 

Model the conical shape with an angle of 90°.

Set so that the hole diameter ratio D/d is:
greater than 1.4 (D>1.4d) when d is 4.0 [mm] or less.
greater than 1.7 (D>1.7d) when d is greater than 4.0 [mm].

Recognizing Other Types of Hole

The shapes shown below are recognized as other types of hole. The service is not available if these other types of hole are present.

Decreasing two-step hole
Non-90° entrance chamfer
Tapered hole
Oblique hole
Fillet at entrance
Machined thread

Recognizing Slotted Holes

The following shape elements are recognized as slotted holes. Shape elements recognized as slotted holes can be changed to precision holes using the dialog box. You can also specify the dimensional tolerance from the arc center.

Through-hole shape with width = 2R

Thin-Wall Judgment Logic

As shown below, if there is a thin wall below the machining limit, out of tolerance will occur due to tearing or shape deformation during manufacturing. *If there is an overlap between the limit values, the larger value will be given priority.

If the thin wall is below the limit, the “Quality Agreement” will be displayed on the screen. Please check the relevant area on the 3D viewer and answer whether you agree with tears, deformations and out of tolerance.

If you disagree, we will not be able to provide an automatic quotation. If you disagree but still want the same quality as the model, please write “disagree with the quality agreement” or something similar in the comment box and request a manual quote from meviy support. After that, you will receive an official quotation response shortly.

Quoting Error Troubleshooting

  • When uploading a model to meviy, a “Quotation failure” error may occur.
  • Below is an overview of why these errors occur and how to resolve them, as well as some example errors.

What is a quotation failure?

When uploading a model to meviy, an error may occur where the model cannot be auto-quoted.

How to check for errors in the project list

  • After uploading a model to meviy, the “” or “” icon will appear if the model cannot be auto-quoted.
  • In this case, please go to the 3D Viewer and confirm the details of the error from the Precaution column.

How to check error messages in the 3D Viewer

  • Please open 3D viewer and check “Precaution”.
  • If you click “Check”, you will see error messages and a range for auto-quotation.
  • Depending on error cause, a range for auto-auotation may not be displayed.

Notes

  • In addition to the red text in the message box, the Quality Agreement may be provided in an orange message.
  • For more information on the quality agreement, please refer to the following

 

How to locate an error

  • Clicking the “Confirm” button will highlight the error location in the model.
  • Once this error is resolved, automatic quoting will be possible.

Case 1: Failure to read uploaded file

  • This error occurs when a 3DCAD format or extension that is not supported by meviy is uploaded.
  • To resolve this, please check the formats supported by meviy and re-upload a supported format.

Notes

  • Please see below for the formats and extensions that can be uploaded to meviy.
 

Case 2: Unsupported shape

  • This error is caused by uploading a shape that is not eligible for automatic quotation with meviy CNC Milling service.
  • To resolve this, please check the quotable shapes and modify the model accordingly.

Tip

  • If the following message is displayed in the 3D Viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “Unsupported shapes_Support”

Notes

  • See below for shapes supported by the CNC Milling service.
  • →CNC Milling>Applicable Parts/Materials>Quotable Shapes
  • See below for Unsupported shapes by the CNC Milling service.
  • →CNC Milling>Applicable Parts/Materials>Ineligible Shapes

Case 3: Maximum Size Issue

  • This error is caused by exceeding meviy’s auto-quotable size.
  • To resolve this, reduce the overall size of the part to meet meet meviy’s size requirements.

Tip

  • If any of the following messages are displayed in the 3D Viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “Blank_Length”
  • – “Blank_Width”
  • – “Blank_Thickness”

Notes

  • See below for sizes that can be quoted by meviy.
  • →CNC Milling>Applicable Parts/Materials>Quotable Sizes
  • If you have any questions, please request a manual quotation by meviy support. See below for assistance on manual quotations.
  • →Quotation conditions settings>[CNC Milling] Quotation Settings>Information about manual quotation

Case 4: Unsupported holes

  • This error occurs when there is an unrecognized hole shape.
  • To resolve this, please change the hole to a supported shape and re-upload the file.

Tip

  • Error message will be displayed in the 3D Viewer
  • – “Unsupported hole type”

Notes

  • If you have any questions, please request a manual quotation by meviy support. See below for assistance on manual quotations.
  • →Quotation conditions settings>[CNC Milling] Quotation Settings>Information about manual quotation

Caution

Tapered holes, holes with a fillet at the edge, and undercuts are not supported by a manual quotation

Case 5: Pocket depth limit exceeded

  • This error occurs when the corner radius inside the pocket does not fit into the meviy standard.
  • To resolve this, increase the corner radius to increase the tool diameter, or remove the corner radius to change the machining direction.

Tip

  • meviy recognizes the machining direction and tool diameter by the radius of the pocket corner.
  • Increasing the corner radius will increase the tool diameter and increase the possible cut depth.
  • If any of the following messages are displayed in the 3D Viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “Pocket_Maximum depth_Minimum radius restricted”
  • – “Pocket_Maximum depth_Minimum width restricted”
  • – “Pocket_Maximum depth_Minimum radius and minimum width not restricted”

Notes

Case 6: Insufficient pocket width

  • This error occurs when the specified machining depth is too deep for the pocket width.
  • Tool diameter is determined by the minimum pocket width. Narrower pocket widths make the tool thinner and thus prevent deeper machining.
  • To resolve this, increase the pocket width or reduce the pocket depth.

Tip

  • If the following message is displayed in the 3D Viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “Pocket_Width_Minimum value”

Notes

  • Please see below for pocket dimensions that can be quoted.
  • →CNC Milling>Applicable Parts/Materials>Quotable Shapes

Case 7: Insufficient depth of blind holes

  • This error occurs when the blind hole is too deep, and causes the tool holder to collide with the part.
  • To resolve this, adjust the hole depth, diameter, or position to prevent collision.

Tip

  • This error occurs when the corner radius inside the pocket does not fit into the meviy standard.
  • To resolve this, increase the corner radius to increase the tool diameter, or remove the corner radius to change the machining direction.
  • If any of the following messages are displayed in the 3D Viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “Pocket_Maximum depth_Minimum radius restricted”
  • – “Pocket_Maximum depth_Minimum width restricted”
  • – “Pocket_Maximum depth_Minimum radius and minimum width not restricted”

Notes

Case 8: Pocket_Unprocessable pin corner

  • This error occurs when a pin angle remains in a corner.
  • The solution is to use the R proposal function or change the design.

Tip

  • Please see below for shapes that can be quoted.
  • →CNC Milling>Applicable Parts/Materials>Quotable Shapes

Caution

  • A corner pin angle is defined as a pin angle with no corner R required in the machining direction.
  • Shape patterns include obtuse corners as well as those shown at left.

Case 9: Shape recognition failure

  • This error occurs when there is a problem with the quality of the uploaded 3D CAD data, and the shape is deformed when meviy is loaded.
  • If the shape is deformed, please try the following steps to see if you can get a quote.

State of original data

State after meviy is loaded

Tip

  • If the following message is displayed in the 3D viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “An error shape exists in the model.”
  • – “Failed to load file.”

1. Shape check of uploaded 3D CAD data

  • Check the shape of the uploaded 3D CAD data.
  • If there is a problem with the shape, correct it and upload the model again.

Notes

  • Visual check
  • – Are there any twisted surfaces?
  • – Are there any unintended geometric features displayed in the cross-section view?
  • – Are there any very small shapes or gaps?
  • Confirmation of the shape creation method
  • – Are there any 3D shapes created without drawing sketches?
  • – Shapes created by importing lines from DXF
  • – Shapes created using reference geometry or mating part geometry
  • – Are there any intersecting lines created by intersecting holes?
  • – etc.
  • Confirmation using checking tools
  • – Check for inconsistent shapes

If there is no problem with the shape, or if the loading situation does not improve after re-uploading the corrected file, please try the next step 2.

2.Changing the file format

Upload the file again in a different 3D CAD file format from the one you uploaded.

Notes

  • – If meviy supports the native format of the 3D CAD file you are using, please try quoting in the native format.
  • – If you are using an intermediate format, please try quoting in STEP or Parasolid format.
If modifying the geometry and changing the file format does not improve the situation, please contact our support.

Resin Precision Assurance

Unlike metal, resin is a material that easily changes shape or dimensions due to factors such as temperature and humidity. Due to this, precision assurance is performed under the following conditions:
· Inspections are performed in temperature-controlled environments.
· Precision assurance is based on the results of inspections performed immediately before shipment.

Surface Roughness

  • The default surface roughness reference value is √Ra6.3 (√Rz25).
  • When selecting the surface roughness symbol “Ra” in the user settings or initial quotation conditions, 6.3 or 3.2 can be selected.
  • When selecting the surface roughness symbol “Rz”, 25 or 12.5 can be selected.
  • The surface roughness is displayed in the tree view and in the bottom left corner of the 3D viewer.

Dimensional Tolerances

When uploading 3D CAD data, you can specify any dimensions/tolerances for parts where dimensions and tolerances are not displayed.

The minimum specifiable value ranges for tolerances depends on the combination of shape elements.

Depending on other settings, in-range precision may not be covered by the service.

Application conditions for overlapping dimensions

  • Duplicate dimension checks are performed for meviy milled products.
  • Duplicate dimensions cannot be set to avoid duplicate instructions.
  • Logic (1)
  • Holes of the same diameter that exist on the same plane are treated as holes of the same group.
  • If you specify dimensional tolerances for holes, or holes and blank and pocket surfaces, the dimensions are also applied to the holes on the same coax in the same group, and the duplicate is determined.

When dimensional tolerances are specified for ‘H-001’, they shall also apply to ‘H-002’ on the same axis and within the same group.

If you want to specify different dimension tolerances for H-001 and H-002, you first need to split the group.

Logic (2)

Dimensions that can be expressed by calculating other dimensions are judged to be duplicated.

When dimensions are set to ‘50’ and “150”, the dimension ‘100’ – which can be expressed as 150 minus 50 – will be flagged as a duplicate.

Visualization of features whose dimensions are covered

Dimensions are indicated by highlighting or a dotted line.

■How to view 3DViewer

  • Click on a dimension to highlight the hole to which the dimension is applied.
  • (In the image, the hole in the bottom left and the hole in the upper left)

■How to view a simple 2D diagram

Dimensions are applied to holes, which are indicated by a dotted line.

Important Points when Specifying Dimensional Tolerances for Precision Holes

As mentioned above under “Dimensional Tolerance”, when specifying dimensional tolerance for a precision hole, the minimum tolerance value (range) is generally 0.04.

However, there is an exception where the minimum tolerance value (range) is 0.2.

Precautions

  • If a hole depth tolerance is specified for a straight hole, the hole bottom shape is automatically specified as flat.

Specifiable angular tolerance

Angular tolerances

  • You can specify angular tolerances for the angles between surfaces.
  • You can select the blank side or pocket side.

Specifiable tolerance range

 Tolerance range (Θ)
Automatic Quotation0.16°≤Θ≤10°
Manual Quotation0.02°≤Θ<0.16°

When selecting heat treatment and nitriding, the following tolerance ranges can be specified

 Tolerance range (Θ)
Automatic Quotation2°≤Θ≤10°
Manual Quotation0.02°≤Θ<2°

*General tolerances will also be estimated by the manual Quotation.

Unit of angular dimension

  • The unit of angular dimension is in decimal notation. (e.g. 30.5°±0.2°)
  • *Notation in minutes and seconds (sexagesimal) is not supported.

Processing examples

Surfaces for which angular tolerance cannot be specified

You cannot specify angular tolerances for the following surfaces.

hole opening

Chamfer

R-side

Surfaces that are not parallel to the six sides

*The dimensions displayed on the selected surfaces must be parallel to one of the XYZ surfaces.

surfaces that are too small

*The selected area must be at least 9 mm².

Surfaces with an angle of 180°

Precautions

  • One-sided tolerances are quoted by the manual quotation.
  • In the event of overlapping dimensions, we will prioritise the following in order.

Standards for Different Hole and Pocket Types

Straight Holes

Holes that are machined with drills or end mills that do not have a specified precision are referred to as “straight holes” on the cutting service. Tools used for machining have different auto-quotable machining depths.

The maximum value is included as an approximation.

The maximum value may vary depending on other quoted conditions such as shape and material. Thank you for your understanding.

  • When parts are heat treated, the outer surface tends to be harder, while the inner areas tend to remain softer. During inspection the hardening will be confirmed to be uniform on average.
  • The surface can be cleaned by sandblasting after hardening. The accuracy is not reduced by this process. The blasting method cannot be specified.
  • Grinding may be performed during the finishing process.
  • Grinding cannot be specified. Whether to grind is decided in the factory under the aspect of quality assurance.
  • Hardness measurement marks may remain in areas. To confirm the inspection points in advance, please add information in the comments and request a manual quote.

Difference in Shapes Between the 3D Model and the Finished Product

The Finished Shape of Internal and External Corners of Turning parts

Please check the examples and notes for differences in the finished product.
Models with sharp edges
Models with internal corners of less than C0.5/R0.5
Actual finished shape after machining

Tip

The finish conditions are as follows.
  • Models with external edges of less than C/R0.5 will have C/R 0.1 to 0.4 mm or slight chamfer.
  • If the internal corners of the cylinder are less than 0.5 and there is no relief groove in the model, the tool edge will leave a corner of R0-R0.4mm.
    →Click here to specify “Corner R0” without modeling a relief groove.

Caution

  • When modelled with ≥C0.5 mm or more, machining will be in accordance with the 3D data.
  • When modelled with ≥R0.5 mm or more, machining will be in accordance with the 3D data.

Caution

Specification of “no chamfer” is not supported.

Notes

Outer diameter grooving

Inner diameter grooving

Center Holes

The center hole made in the end face is used to keep the workpiece in place and to prevent core deviation when rotating the product.

Caution

  • 「”Center hole cannot be left” can be selected, but there may be restrictions on the shapes that can be machined that make the option unavailable. When this occurs, check the “Precaution” in the upper-left corner of the 3D Viewer.

Notes

(1) If you select “Remove center hole”, an arrow will point to the part.
(2) If the component has an inner diameter, no arrow will point to the part.

The Bottom of Holes (Machined and Cut)

A drill tip shape remains at the bottom of the hole (machined and cut).
Shape patterns Inner diameter hole does not have a step Inner diameter hole has a step
A
Drill tip shape remains (flat bottom will be 1mm or more)
B
Drill tip shape remains, no flat bottom
  • The type of the bottom of the hole will depend on the diameter and depth of the hole.
  • Example: If the inner diameter (D) is 10mm and the hole depth is 35mm, the depth of 35mm ÷ inner diameter of 10mm = 3.5D, so the bottom of the hole type will be B.
Inner diameter(D)the hole depth

If a flat bottom hole is required, please request it in “Additional Information”. We will confirm whether or not we can accommodate your request and reply.

Regarding cylinder corners

Please check the examples and notes for differences in the finished product.

Outer diameter

①When “Corner R0 specification” is specified in the dialog
  • When you want to minimize the corner R or specify the relief groove
  • → Select “Corner R0”

Tip

Corner R0 has a width of less than corner R0.2 to R0.4, so the depth may be less than 0.5mm. You cannot choose.
① When machining with R0.4 tools
②When machining with R0.2 tools with R0.4 tools

③ If the length of the shaft is short, it may be machined with a tool with a 0.1mm radius on the end face that contacts the shaft.

Notes

In the following cases, “Corner R0” does not apply.
(1) The model has corner R0.5 or greater (2) The model has a relief groove
②If you specify “Corner R0 to R0.4 or less” in the dialog
  • When the cylindrical corner can be any shape
  • → Select “Corner Radius between R0 to R0.4”.

Example Errors for CNC Turning

  • When uploading a model to meviy, a “Quotation failure” error may occur.
  • Below is an overview of why these errors occur and how to resolve them,as well as some example errors.

Case 1: Pocket Corners

*This message may appear for cases other than the following examples.

Pocket Corners

CauseIn some cases, sharp pocket corners cannot be machined with an end mill and quotation is not possible.
SolutionAdd a radius to each sharp corner in the pocket to allow for the tool radius. Quotation is possible.

The tool used will vary depending on the width and depth of the pocket. Refer to the table below for the corner radius required for the size of the pocket.

  • *Please use the table as a reference, as the required radius may vary depending on the shape.
Reference values for Radius modeling
Width (w) Depth (h) Radius
2≦w<3 6 R1
3≦w<4 9 R1.5
4≦w<5 12 R2
5≦w<6 20 R2.5
6≦w<8 24 R3
8≦w<10 32 R4
10≦w<12 40 R5
12≦w<16 48 R6
16≦w<20 64 R8
20≦w 80 R10

Case 2: Pocket Bottom Radius

Pocket Bottom Radius

CauseIn some cases, the radius at the bottom of a pocket cannot be machined with an end mill and quotation is not possible.
SolutionRemove the radius at the bottom of the pocket from the model to get an automatic quotation.

Case 3: Thin Walls

Thin Walls

CauseIn some cases, thin wall parts cannot be quoted because the accuracy, including general tolerances, cannot be guaranteed.

The following shapes do not cause an error, but we may contact you to request a modification to the shape or tolerances due to thin walls.

SolutionBy modifying the thickness of the model, automatic estimation is possible.

Click here for more information about the logic that determines the conditions for thin walls.

Case 4: Thin Plates

Thin Plates

CauseIn some cases, thin plates with a total thickness less than 5% of the outer diameter and an outer diameter of ø60mm or more are prone to warping and cannot be quoted.
SolutionIf the thickness of the model is increased, an automatic offer is possible.
  • Increase the thickness of the model to more than 5% of the outermost diameter for automatic quotation.
  •  
  • Example Calculation
  • Outermost diameter ø60 × 5% = 3mm thickness
  • Outermost diameter ø100 × 5% = 5mm thickness

Case 5: Flange Thickness

Flange Thickness

CauseThe reason is that the thickness of the arrowed portion above is less than 1 mm.
SolutionThe thickness of the arrow above should be 1 mm or more for automatic estimation.

Case 6: Unrecognizable or Unavailable Shapes

The following error messages are displayed when there is a “target outline” when recognized by meviy.

*This message may appear for cases other than the following examples.

Unrecognizable or Unavailable Shapes

CauseModeled Threads are an unrecognized shape in meviy.

Internal Thread

External Thread

SolutionRemove the thread and upload it as shown below. Threads can then be specified in meviy.

*Internal threads can be specified.

*External threads can be specified.

Case 7: Other holes

  • If a hole is recognized as an “other hole” in meviy, it cannot be automatically quoted.
  • Some examples of hole types that will be recognized as an “other hole” are shown below.

Case 8: Shape recognition failure

  • This error occurs when there is a problem with the quality of the uploaded 3D CAD data, and the shape is deformed when mevyi is loaded.
  • If the shape is deformed, please try the following steps to see if you can get a quote.

State of original data

State after meviy is loaded

Tip

  • If the following message is displayed in the 3D viewer, it corresponds to this error.
  • – “An error shape exists in the model.”
  • – “Failed to load file.”

1. Shape check of uploaded 3D CAD data

  • Check the shape of the uploaded 3D CAD data.
  • If there is a problem with the shape, correct it and upload the model again.

Notes

  • Visual check
  • – Are there any twisted surfaces?
  • – Are there any unintended geometric features displayed in the cross-section view?
  • – Are there any very small shapes or gaps?
  • Confirmation of the shape creation method
  • – Are there any 3D shapes created without drawing sketches?
  • – Shapes created by importing lines from DXF
  • – Shapes created using reference geometry or mating part geometry
  • – Are there any intersecting lines created by intersecting holes?
  • – etc.
  • Confirmation using checking tools
  • – Check for inconsistent shapes
If there is no problem with the shape, or if the loading situation does not improve after re-uploading the corrected file, please try the next step “2.

2.Changing the file format

Upload the file again in a different 3D CAD file format from the one you uploaded.

Notes

  • – If meviy supports the native format of the 3D CAD file you are using, please try quoting in the native format.
  • – If you are using an intermediate format, please try quoting in STEP or Parasolid format.
If modifying the geometry and changing the file format does not improve the situation, please contact our support.

Default General Tolerance Standards

  • The Machined plates service does not display dimensions or tolerances when 3D CAD data is uploaded other than diameter information and full length, assuming that the customer specifies the desired tolerances.
  • This section describes the finish of parts where dimensions and tolerances are not displayed.

Default General Tolerance Standards for Machined Dimensions
(Standard products conform to JIS B 0405:1991/JIS B 0419:1991)

Resin Precision Assurance

Unlike metal, resin is a material that easily changes shape or dimensions due to factors such as temperature and humidity. Due to this, precision assurance is performed under the following conditions:
  • · Inspections are performed in temperature-controlled environments (23 to 24℃).
  • · Precision assurance is based on the results of inspections performed immediately before shipment.

Surface Roughness

  • The surface roughness reference value is √Ra6.3 (√Rz25).
  • The surface roughness is displayed in the lower left corner of the 3D viewer and the roughness symbol can be changed in user settings.
  • You can select √Ra6.3/3.2 for surface roughness in User Settings > Initial Quotation Settings
 

Tip

As shown in the figure below, you can select the value for surface roughness from √Ra6.3/3.2 in the tree view.

Outer corners, cylinder inner edge, chamfered edge

  • Parts with an edge of less than C/R0.5 have a chamfer between C/R 0.1 to 0.4 mm.
  • If the inner edge of the cylinder is smaller than 0.5, the finishing of the edge is R0.4 mm.

Caution

The specification “no chamfer” is not supported.

Automatic hole/inner diameter type Recognition

You can change settings that are useful when using meviy for each registered user. The following is a guide to set up the hole/inner diameter type recognition method according to the CAD software you use.

Automatic hole/inner diameter type Recognition Settings

Here are 3 settings to reflect the hole/inner diameter type of the 3D model in the meviy quotation.

Hover over your username and click [User Settings] from the User Menu.

Setup Method 1: No Automatic Recognition

With this setup, all cylindrical holes are recognized as through holes (sheet metal parts), and as straight holes with no tolerance (machined plates). Specifications for tapped or precision holes can be changed after uploading the CAD data by opening the 3D viewer screen from [Next] and double clicking on the hole.

Caution

The original hole attribute information given in 3D CAD during model design is not retained.

Setup Method 2: Automatic Recognition of Tapped holes from Hole Diameter (Default)(Excludes inner diameter)

  • This setup detects the hole shape and ‘hole diameter’ of the model according to your CAD software and automatically recognizes the tapped hole.
  •  
  • Please select your CAD software as the hole diameter requirement for tap hole recognition.
    *If you have chosen to [According to File Type], the CAD used in the design will be estimated based on the file extension and the hole diameter will be matched.

Notes

Caution

Setup Method 3: Automatic Recognition of hole/inner diameter type from Color Attributes

  • This setup detects the colored hole surface in the model according to your CAD software and automatically recognises the tapped hole, precision hole, etc.
  • The color attribute of each hole/inner diameter type can be registered in advance, and any hole/inner diameter type can be reflected in the quotation conditions by matching the coloration of the hole surface.

Caution

  • There are restrictions on the CAD data to which color attributes can be linked. (Reference: CAD information for color attributes linkage)
    Please select your CAD software and then upload the native format or an intermediate file (.x_t, .xmt_txt etc. for Parasolid only) output from the selected CAD software for use.
