Steel

A wide range of rolled steel products are available.

These products require surface treatment after processing, as they are prone to rusting.

Available surface treatments are painting, electroless nickel plating, black oxide, and trivalent chromate (clear and black).

	EN 1.0330 equiv.
	Cold-rolled steel sheet for use in general type pressing. Characterized by its high dimensional accuracy and attractive surface finish. The standard plate thickness is generally between 0.2 mm and 3.2 mm.

	EN 1.0320 equiv. (hot coiled)
	Hot-rolled soft steel sheet for general use and deep drawing. The standard plate thickness is generally 1.2 mm or more. The material is commonly used in products with medium plate thicknesses.

	EN 1.0038 equiv.
	This is a typical rolled steel for general structural use. It has high strength and is used in a wide range of applications such as construction and machinery. The surface is covered with a black oxide film and is also called black film material.

Stainless Steel

A wide range of EN 1.4301 equiv. and EN 1.4016 equiv. products are available. The most common finishes are “2B” and “NO.1”.

“single-sided #400-grit polished” and ‘single-sided hairline finish’ can be selected when required.A protective sheet (one side only) is attached to protect the finish.

EN 1.4301 equiv.(2B)

The most common type of stainless steel.
Provides excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, ductility, machinability and weldability. Used in a wide range of applications.
The surface has a slightly glossed finish.

Finish 2B:
This is the most common surface finish and is smoother than 2D finish. Adjustment rolling is applied to obtain the appropriate gloss. It is used for general purpose materials and building materials, and the majority of commercially available products have this finish.

EN 1.4301 equiv. (Single-Sided #400-Grit Polished)

A material with a highly attractive surface finish commonly used for exterior covers. The surface has a mirror-like glossed finish onto which a small amount of polishing marks may remain.

Finish single-sided polished:
The surface finish has a gloss similar to BA*1. This is a 2B material polished using a #400 grain size buff. Typical uses are building materials and kitchen supplies.

EN 1.4301 equiv.(single-sided hairline finish)

This is a surface finishing material characterized by long, continuous, hair-like polished grains. The surface is low-gloss to create a relaxed atmosphere.
HL (Hairline finish):
This creates a surface finish with long, continuous polishing marks. It uses an abrasive belt with an appropriate grain size to create long, narrow, continuous abrasive marks. This is the most common finishing method for building materials.

EN 1.4016 equiv.(2B)

A common type of ferritic stainless steel. Has a glossier surface finish than EN 1.4301 equiv. and is characterized by its magnetic properties.
Finish 2B:
This is the most common surface finish and is smoother than 2D finish. Adjustment rolling is applied to obtain the appropriate gloss. It is used for general purpose materials and building materials, and the majority of commercially available products have this finish.

	EN 1.4301 equiv.（No.1）
	After hot rolling and heat treatment, it is acid washed to remove black film and dirt from the surface. It features a matte, satin-finish surface. Finish No1: The result is a matte, whitish, non-glossy surface finish. After hot rolling, it is heat treated and pickled to remove dirt, etc.

Aluminum

Generally used in sheet metal processing, EN AW−5052 equiv. aluminum alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, workability, and weldability, and is the most widely distributed aluminum.
Although it is a rust-resistant aluminum, it may corrode depending on environmental conditions.
Anodizing is used to prevent any corrosion.

	EN AW−5052 equiv.
	The most versatile aluminum alloy.

Pre-finished Sheets

Some materials have undergone surface treatment prior to processing.Surfaces cut during processing will not be plated.

Because a surface treatment is not required after processing, delivery can be made in a relatively short time.

For more information, please click here.

Steel

Both have excellent corrosion resistance.

EN 1.0330 equiv. (SGCC) (Steel Plate Cold Commercial) has a higher corrosion resistance than EN 1.0330 equiv. (SECC) Electrolytic Zinc Plating because the plating is thicker.

	EN 1.0330 equiv. (SECC) Electrolytic Zinc Plating
	A plated steel sheet with good corrosion resistance. Because of the properties of the material, there may be some marks on the surface. The surface is gray.

	EN 1.0330 equiv. (SGCC) (Steel Plate Cold Commercial)
	Also used in building materials and has high corrosion resistance. The surface is the color of silver.

Aluminum

Has better corrosion and wear resistance when compared to other unfinished products and can have a shorter delivery and lower cost than surface treated products.

Due to the characteristics of the material, cracks may form in the bend areas and the plating may peel off.

	EN AW-5052 equiv. pre-finished anodized plate (clear)
	The surface is silver.

	EN AW-5052 equiv. pre-finished anodized plate (black)
	The surface is black.

Please click here for more information about pre-finished sheets.

Perforated Metal

Perforated steel sheets are used in a wide range of applications, such as ventilation covers and filters.

It is relatively low cost compared to cutting holes and patterns in general steel sheets.

Correction for warping is performed at the time of shipment but some distortion will remain due to the characteristics of the material.

	Perforated Metal (EN 1.4301 equiv.-BA); —60° Staggered Round Hole Type—
	You can choose from the following five types of hole diameter and pitch patterns. ø1 × 2p ø2 × 3p ø3 × 5p ø5 × 8p ø8 × 12p

BA*1:

Creates a beautiful glossy surface that is almost mirror-like. After cold rolling, bright annealing is carried out, followed by adjustment rolling to further increase the gloss. It is used for automotive parts, household appliances, kitchen utensils and decorations.

Aluminum composite sheet

Aluminum composite materials have a layered structure of aluminum + polyethylene foam + aluminum.

Because the surface material is thin, it is lighter than metal sheets and has superior rigidity to resin.

Can be used for applications like equipment cover panels for reducing weight while maintaining rigidity.

Due to the characteristics of the material, the metal edges may become sharp.

	Aluminum composite sheet – Silver
	The surface is silver (glossy). A popular alternative to stainless steel and aluminum panels.

	Aluminum composite sheet – Frosted Silver
	The surface is silver (matte). A popular alternative to stainless steel and aluminum panels.

	Aluminum composite sheet – Black
	The surface is black. A popular alternative to steel panels for applications that require less light reflection.

Modeling Rules: Bending

Example

The sheet metal thickness must be uniform.

Design inner radius (R_inner) of a bend as follows: 0 ≤ Inner radius ≤ ThicknessDesign outer radius (R_outer) as follows:Inner radius R_inner + 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.

Thickness	Inner radius R_min	Outer radius R_max

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.

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.

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).

*1 Pilot hole diameter for Siemens PLM-NX JIS model
*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.

Countersunk diameter	Pilot hole(d) range	Example

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.

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.

When a keyhole shaped element is detected, it will be identified as a keyhole type hole.

Modeling Rules	Example
Model the keyhole type hole to meet all of the following conditional expressions: d1 ≥ 4.5, d2 ≥ [2 × d1 + 2], h > 0

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

Weld (spot) nut and weld (arc) nut

Weld nut nominal diameter	Upper limit of the pilot hole diameter (d)	Example
M4	d ≦ 11.0
M5	d ≦ 11.0
M6	d ≦ 13.0
M8	d ≦ 15.0
M10	d ≦ 17.0
M12	d ≦ 19.0

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.
Nut mounting cannot be selected for perforated metal, shim plates (EN 1.0330 equiv. & EN 1.4301 equiv.) and resin.

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

Example 2) Model image where die interference occurs

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)
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).

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.

Exterior Appearance Finish

Cut Surface

Note that the appearance of the cut surface may vary depending on how it was cut.

(The cutting method cannot be specified.)

With laser processing

The cut surface will have a smooth edge.

With turret punch press machining

The machining surface will have a smooth curved shape.

Burring in the Pulling Direction

Standard Value	Example
As shown in the right hand example (from behind), burrs of 0.1 mm or less may occur as a result of the machining process.

Standard Value	Example
Burrs resulting from punching sheet metal are finished to an Equivalent 0.1 mm Radius as shown in the figure to the right. For standard conditions, burrs are guaranteed to be 0.1㎜ or less.	No Edge breaking (No burrs ≥ 0.1mm) Edge breaking (Radius = 0.1mm)

Appearance of Edge breaking

Finish of 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.

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.

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.

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)

EN AW 5052 equiv. (anodized clear/black) pre-finished materials can be processed. (See the figure on the right.)

Cut surfaces will not have a surface finish.

If surface treatment is required on the cut surfaces, select a material that is not pre-finished and specify anodizing as the surface treatment.

*Please click here for more information about materials.

Anodized Aluminum Sheet Appearance

Product Finish

There is a possibility the surface treatment may peel at bends.
Cut surfaces will not have a surface finish.

*There may be color differences depending on the part shape and surfaces to be cut. Film thickness cannot be specified.

*There may be slight color differences for pre-finished products depending on the delivery option selected. Performance is equivalent.

*Assembled nuts will not be anodized.

Hanging jig marks may be left when painting (see diagram on right).

The base coat of painted products is iron phosphate coating.

The main quality standards are shown in the table below.

The values are approximate values.

	Powder Coating	Painting
Film thickness *1	80±30μm	30±15μm
Baking temperature	180℃	140℃
Baking time	20 to 30 min.
Salt spray test *2	120 hours	72 hours

1: Not a guaranteed value as the coating thickness may vary depending on the shape. 2: Based on JIS Z2371 salt spray test method. (Powder coating: 60±5μm after baking at 180°C for 20 minutes, Painting: 25±5μm after baking at 100°C for 20 minutes)

We conduct confirmation using a film thickness gauge, peeling off with tape, and board test with a test piece.
The appearance is visually checked for color, dust, spots, dimples, etc., referring to the “Miscellaneous Materials Measurement Chart,” and the tapped holes are checked for functionality by passing bolts through them.

For cleaning, wipe with water or wipe with water after wiping with diluted neutral detergent using a soft cloth or sponge, and then wipe dry with dry cloth.

Please refrain from using petroleum solvents such as thinner, benzene, etc. and alcohol.

Engraving finishes

・The engraving of sheet metal is done by scribing.
・The width of the letters (approx. 0.1 mm), the depth of the engraving and the distances between the letters cannot be specified.
・Font size and angle are approximate values. We cannot guarantee accuracy.

important notice

・Depending on the material and machine, burn marks may occur in the area of the letters.
・Depending on the material, the finish of the engraving may be lighter.
・If the size of the engraved characters is small (approx. 3 to 5 mm) or if the shape of the characters is complicated, the characters may be crushed.

Standard Value	Example
There are no restrictions on the relationship between cut sections and hole positions. (Use caution when handling cut sections or the cutouts around holes as they are particularly sharp.)

Dimensional Changes for Clear Resin

Unlike metal, resin is a material that easily deforms as a result of temperature and humidity and changes in dimensions. Accuracy is assured in the following way:

Testing is conducted in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment
Accuracy assurance is based on the results of inspections performed immediately before shipment.

Appearance of Composite Sheets

Countersink hole machining finish

Product finish

Countersunk holes and machined external surfaces will expose the core material.
Although deburring is performed, the surface may be sharp due to the characteristics of the material. Please be careful when unpacking and handling the product.
A protective sheet is attached to prevent scratches.

*There may be differences in color depending on the shape and surfaces to be processed.

Quality Assurance Scope for External Appearances

Cut surface		Marks from the hanging jig used during the application of the painting coat
With laser processing The cut surface will have a smooth edge.	With turret punch press machining The machining surface will have a smooth curved shape.

Surface

The external appearance surfaces must be free of blemishes caused by nails.
For surfaces that are not considered external appearance surfaces, some processing/machining marks may be present.

Burring in the pulling direction	Damage caused by bending	Protrusion from bending

Machined Sections (Punching, Bending)

Any burrs that exceed 0.1 mm that occurred as a result of the machining/processing will be removed.
*Does not include light chamfering or C-chamfering.
If chamfering or filleting is required on the external sections, include this in the modeling. However, this does not apply to chamfers and fillets in the plate thickness direction.
Note that the appearance of the cut surface may vary depending on the processing/machining method. (The processing/machining method cannot be specified.)
Marks may remain from the hanging jig used during the application of the painting coat.
Machining/processing marks from the die used during the bending process may remain.
*For EN 1.4301 equiv.#400 and EN 1.4301 equiv.(single-sided hairline finish), protective sheets are applied to external appearance surfaces to protect against the formation of defects.
Bulging/protrusions of about 15% of the plate thickness can occur on each side of the bent sections during the bending process.

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.

Machining Direction

The machining direction can be perpendicular and parallel to the 6 rectangular faces.
Machining at an angle against the direction of the rectangular faces requires dedicated equipment and is not possible with meviy.

*With 3-axis milling, it is not possible to machine at angles that run diagonal to the 6 faces.

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.

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.

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.

Pilot Hole for Tapped/Precision Hole

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 depth reference value = pitch × 2.5 + 2 mm

Pilot-hole remaining depth reference value = 2.7 mm

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 black oxide coating, electroless nickel, trivalent chromate, and all anodized aluminum, 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

Shape Elements Identified as Holes

In the machining 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.
See here for the Tapped Hole Identification Settings.

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

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

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.

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.

Before You Begin＞Uploadable CAD File Formats

Case 2: Unsupported shape

This error is caused by uploading a shape that is not eligible for automatic quotation with meviy’s Machined Plate 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 Machined Plate service.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Applicable Parts/Materials＞Quotable Shapes

See below for Unsupported shapes by the Machined Plate service.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Applicable Parts/Materials＞Ineligible Shapes

Case 3: Maximum Size Issue

This error is caused by exceeding mevyi’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.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞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＞[FA Machined] Quotation Settings＞Information about manual quotation

Case 4: Unsupported holes

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

Please see below for the recognition conditions of each hole type.。
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Design Guidelines＞Recognizing Different Types of Hole

If you have any questions, please request a manual quotation by meviy support. See below for assistance on manual quotations.
→Quotation conditions settings＞[FA Machined] 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

Please see below for pocket dimensions that can be quoted.。
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Accuracy and Machining Specifications＞Standards for Different Hole and Pocket Types

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.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Applicable Parts/Materials＞Quotable Shapes

Please see below for tool diameters and accompanying machining depths.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Accuracy and Machining Specifications＞Standards for Different Hole and Pocket Types

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

Please see below for tool diameters and accompanying machining depths.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞Accuracy and Machining Specifications＞Standards for Different Hole and Pocket Types

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.
→ [FA Mechanical Parts] Machined Plates＞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 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.

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.

Surface Roughness

Symbol	Selected Value
Ra	6.3	3.2
Rz	25	12.5

Internal and External Corners

For external sharp corners or corners of C0.5 and smaller, the finish will be as follows:
· Corners C0.1 mm to 0.5 mm or less

For internal sharp corners, the finish will be as follows:
· Internal corners R0.1 to R0.5 mm or less

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.

Adding Dimensional Tolerances to Grouped Holes

The cutting service will not recognize that dimensions have been entered

even when other features exist in a straight line from features with dimensional tolerances (holes, pockets, etc.)

(Not judged as duplicate dimensions.)

Always insert the tolerance in locations where the tolerance is required.

For example, if you specify a dimensional tolerance for H-001, dimensional tolerances will also be applied to H-002, which is on the same axis and in the same group.

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

*Note that the above rule does not apply if you specify a dimensional tolerance between holes.

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.

*The orange area is the effective depth range of a precision hole.

0-Step/1-Step Holes (Counterbored Holes), Blind

0-Step/1-Step hole (counterbored hole), blind

⇒ Minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

0-Step Holes, Through

Dimensional tolerance specification on the effective depth side ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

Dimensional tolerance specification on the effective depth side and opposite side ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.2

Dimensional tolerance specification on effective depth full-length holes ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

1-Step Holes (Counterbored), Through

Dimensional tolerance specification on the upper side ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

If the lower step is the total length of the effective depth, lower step side dimensional tolerance specification ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

If the lower step is not the total length of the effective depth, lower step side dimensional tolerance specification ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.2

2-Step Holes

Dimensional tolerance specification on the side of the step with a set effective depth ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

Dimensional tolerance specification on the central step effective depth and opposite side ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.04

Dimensional tolerance specification on the central step effective depth and opposite side ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.2

Dimensional tolerance specification on steps with set effective depth and opposite side ⇒ minimum tolerance value (range): 0.2

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.

Points to Note on the Finished Shape of Internal and External Corners of Turning parts

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

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

- A standard retaining ring grooving tool has corner R0.2
- For retaining ring standards, click here.＞＞＞Specifications for External Thread and Internal Thread, Keyways, Holes and Pockets

Outer diameter grooving

Inner diameter grooving

Points to Note on 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.

Points to Note on 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
A	Drill tip shape remains (flat bottom will be 1mm or more)
B
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

⌀6 ＜D≦⌀30	A	B	B
⌀30＜D	A	A	A

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.

Points to note 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”.

(1) Lower limit for the length of the incomplete thread and the width of the undercut.		Pitch × 2.0	Pitch × 2.5 + 2
(2) Lower limit of the length of the threaded (external thread) and the depth of the threaded (internal thread).		Pitch × 2.0	Pitch × 2.0
(3) Chamfered edge		Chamfered to prevent burr	Chamfered to prevent burr
(4) Minimum undercut depth value		Pitch × 0.75	Pitch × 0.75

Caution

Parts with “Pitch × 0.75” or less set to the minimum value for the undercut depth(4) can be machined, but thread marks may occur.

Reference model
Actual finished shape after machining

Tip

The [Notes] shown in the red box below describe the applicable thread length/thread depth.

Example 1) Outer diameter specification: male thread thread length 44.6mm – 4.0 (pitch) x 2.0 = 36.6mm	Example 2) Inner diameter specification: female screw thread depth 15.5mm – (1.0(pitch) × 2.5 + 2.0) ＝ 11.0mm

Caution

The thread shape cannot be identified. Set the outer and inner threads.

Points to note for the finished shape of the end-face groove inner corners

Check the examples and notes for differences from the final product.

Model with sharp edges in end face groove

Actual finished shape after machining

"*Finished with a radius (R) ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. "

Notes

Since the shape is finished to R0.1 to 0.5, no modelling is required. Design with sharp edges.

Points to Note for the Finished Shape of Pocket Internal Corners

Check the examples and notes for differences from the final product.

Notch (pocket)

Shape of less than R0.5 including sharp edges

Actual finished shape after machining

"*Finished with a radius (R) ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. "

Caution

The machined curve on the sides of the pocket depends on the tool diameter, which is chosen as small as possible.
If there are any discrepancies between the model and the finished form, please feel free to let us know.

Points to Note for Sliting processing

The dimensions of the parts may change as a result of the slitting process. Therefore, the dimensions of the following shapes are guaranteed based on the measurements taken before slitting.

Hexagonal Hole Notes

Information and examples of differences between the model and the finished part.

The shape of the finished hexagonal hole will vary depending on the distance across the flats.
The modeled depth is used as a reference, and the shape of the bottom of the hole will vary.

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

Cause

In some cases, sharp pocket corners cannot be machined with an end mill and quotation is not possible.

Solution

Add 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)	Reference values for Radius modeling
2≦w＜3	5	R1
3≦w＜4	10	R1.5
4≦w＜5.5	15	R2
5.5≦w＜8	20	R2.75
8≦w＜9	25	R4
9≦w＜11	30	R4.5
11≦w＜17	40	R5.5
17≦w＜20	60	R8.5
20≦w	80	R10

Case 2: Pocket Bottom Radius

Pocket Bottom Radius

Cause

In some cases, the radius at the bottom of a pocket cannot be machined with an end mill and quotation is not possible.

Solution

Remove the radius at the bottom of the pocket from the model to get an automatic quotation.

Case 3: Thin Walls

Thin Walls

Cause

In 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.

Solution

By 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

Cause

In 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.

Solution

If 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

Cause	The reason is that the thickness of the arrowed portion above is less than 1 mm.
Solution	The 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

Cause

Modeled Threads are an unrecognized shape in meviy.

Internal Thread

External Thread

Solution

Remove 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.

*Threads can be specified in the dialog box after selecting the feature.
Refer to “Setting Inner Diameter Information”for the setting of internal threads.
Refer to “Setting Outer Diameter Information” for the setting of external threads.

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.

C – Chamfer

Chamfer other than 45

Tapered hole①

R – Radius

Tapered hole②

Two stepped tapered hole

Hole intersecting with hole features

TOP

Hole intersecting with outer diameter groove

TOP

FRONT

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.

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 (From Excerpts of JIS B 0405:1991/JIS B 0419:1991)

The following standards are applied to the origin according to machining standards.
The origin can be moved to any position.

Tolerances for Model Dimensions, Excluding Chamfer

[mm]

Tolerance Grade		Classification of Standard Dimensions
Symbol	Description	≥0.5 ≤3	>3 ≤6	>6 ≤30	>30 ≤120	>120 ≤400	>400 ≤1000
m	Medium	±0.1	±0.1	±0.2	±0.3	±0.5	±0.8

Tolerances for Chamfer Length Dimensions (Corner Radius and Corner Chamfer Dimensions)

[mm]

Tolerance Grade		Classification of Standard Dimensions
Symbol	Description	≥0.5 ≤3	>3 ≤6	>6
C	Rough	±0.4	±1	±2

Angle Dimensional Tolerances

Tolerance Grade		Length of the Shorter Angle Edge
Symbol	Description	≤10	>10 ≤50	>50 ≤120	>120 ≤400	>400
m	Medium	±1°	±30’	±20’	±10’	±5’

General Tolerances of Perpendicularity

[mm]

Tolerance Grade	Nominal Length of the Shorter Edge
Symbol	≤100	>100 ≤300	>300 ≤1000	>1000 ≤5000
K	0.4	0.6	0.8	1

*This does not apply if Hardening is included in the process.

Geometric Tolerance Precision Standards for Lathe Machining

The following tolerance values are also guaranteed for hardening. However, this may not apply for certain product shapes (for example thin-walled products, long products and products with a large removal rate).

[mm]

	Geometric Tolerance Completed on One Side with Maximum Diameter as the Origin		Geometric Tolerance for Both Sides with Maximum Diameter as the Origin
	Outer Diameter	Inner Diameter	Outer Diameter	Inner Diameter	L (Full Length)	K (Geometric Tolerance Value)
Perpendicularity					L ≦ 100	0.06
					100 < L ≦ 300	0.1
					300 < L ≦ 500	0.15
					L < 500	0.2
Coaxiality					L ≦ 100	0.1
					100 < L ≦ 300	0.2
					300 < L ≦ 500	0.3
					L < 500	0.5
Parallelism					L ≦ 100	0.06
					100 < L ≦ 300	0.1
					300 < L ≦ 500	0.15
					L < 500	0.2
Roundness

*Roundness should be equal to the dimensional tolerance value for the diameter, but it must not exceed the specified tolerance value of circular runout in the radial direction.
Example 1: Roundness 0.1 for diameter 100 without tolerance
Example 2: Roundness 0.04 for diameter 100 ±0.02

Tip

Reasons for disparities in precision between one side and both sides

- ■ One side

- Workpiece does not need replacing and machining is completed in one direction

- ■ Both sides

- Workpiece needs replacing and machining is in two directions

General Tolerances of Straightness and Flatness

[mm]

Tolerance Grade	Nominal Length
Symbol	≤10	>10 ≤30	>30 ≤100	>100 ≤300	>300 ≤1000
K	0.05	0.1	0.2	0.4	0.6

*This does not apply if Hardening is included in the process.

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.

Because it is a fusion cutting process in which the metal is melted and cut by discharges from electrodes, the surface is not glossy.

Surface Treatment Quality Standards

Caution

Since it is difficult to check the coating thickness for small diameter precision holes, etc., additional machining may be performed after machining, so the surface treatment cannot remain on the cut surface.
The surface treatment may not remain on the inside of holes as holes may be masked.
Surface treatment suspension and electrode contact marks may remain on the product.

To ensure contact for the following applicable surface treatments, at least one hanging shape from (1) to (5) above is required.

If there are tolerances for the outer and inner diameters, grinding may be included the finishing process. In this case, the appearance will change as shown in the figure above.
Grinding cannot be specified. Whether to grind is decided in the factory under the aspect of quality assurance.
The threads will also be hardened. Depending on the application, the thread may be damaged. If you do not want the thread to be hardened, please specify Selective Hardening (Induction Hardening) to select an area that does not include the thread.
Hardness measurement marks may remain in areas where surface roughness is not specified or near the center of the end face of the part. To confirm the inspection points in advance, please add information in the comments and request a manual quote

Induction Hardening

Caution

・Grinding may be performed to guarantee accuracy for tolerances on the outer or inner diameter. The appearance of ground surfaces will be as shown in the above figure.
・Grinding cannot be specified. The factory will determine if grinding is necessary to guarantee dimensional accuracy.
・A hardened depth of 1mm or more into the part surface is guaranteed. The hardened depth may be 1.5 mm or more.
・The hardened depth cannot be specified.
・The Induction Hardening process may also harden edges and surfaces adjacent to the surface specified for hardening.

Publishing issued part numbers that have already been quoted for, or sharing uploaded projects using meviy, allows peripheral users to check the configuration and material properties of parts in the 3D Viewer (view mode). This is helpful for sharing information with other departments or subcontractors.

Tip

Model numbers issued from a shared [FA Mechanical Parts] project for which the publicity settings have already been configured are searchable using the [Part Number Search] in the meviy header. → “Search for a Project”

1. Hover over the user name and click [User Settings] in the [User Menu] that appears.

2. Click [Issued Part Number Permission Settings].

3. Set “Permission to View Issued Part Numbers” to “Publish” and click Change.

“Publish”: The part number issued after quotation is published, allowing anyone to search for the issued part number and view in the 3D Viewer.
“Do not publish”: Only logged-in users can search for published part numbers and view in the 3D Viewer. The default setting is “Do not publish.”

4. Set “Purchasing rights for issued part number” to “Issue a part number that can only be purchased with the same customer code” and click [Save settings].

“Issue a part number that can be purchased by anyone”: After a quote is completed, the part number issued will be made public, and anyone who knows the part number will be able to purchase the product. The default setting is “Issue a part number that can be purchased by anyone”.
“Issue a part number that can only be purchased with the same customer code”: Only users with the same customer code will be able to purchase the part numbers issued after this setting.

You can refine your search to only include projects that have been quoted for in meviy. This is useful for when you want to call up a past project to check 3D models or PMI, and for making repeat orders. There are two different search methods, depending on the scope of your search.

To use the search window

There are three ways to use the search window.

When you select “Project” from the pull-down menu and search for it, the corresponding keyword in the project list will be searched and displayed.

When you select “Part Number” from the pull-down menu and search, the 3D viewer of the corresponding project will open in a separate tab.
On the other hand, if the part number is not found, you will be redirected to the part number search screen in another tab.

Select “Support” from the pull-down menu to search for information in the technical manuals.

To use the part number search screen

１．Click [Part N0. Search] from the user menu in the project list screen.

The meviy part number search screen will appear.

2. Enter the Part Number that you want to search for.

The 3D Viewer screen will appear for the project that includes a perfect match for the Part Number that you entered.

Caution

The [Part Number Search] will only search [FA Mechanical Parts] projects whose Part Numbers have been published. → Publish an Issued Part Number/Share a Project
Only Part Numbers beginning with MV can be searched.

3D models can be rotated and resized using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts.

The default mouse and keyboard commands assigned in meviy can be changed to match the control scheme for any CAD environment. → User Settings

Notes

See below for default keyboard shortcuts.
→ [FA Machined] Quotation Settings > Keyboard Operations
→ [FA Sheet Metal] Quotation Settings > Keyboard Operations

You can set the customer’s internal control number as the [Customer Order Number] for each ordered part. The customer order number will be printed on the product label when the manufactured parts are delivered, along with the part number, making it easier to check the delivery.

Tip

The customer PO number can include up to 54 half-width characters (uppercase or Japanese) and spaces, numerals and symbols (#$%&‘()*+,-./:;=?@\_,~). If the parent part number entry field is displayed, you must enter this number (up to 20 characters).
You can still configure settings and make changes after finalizing a quote, but any changes and subsequent price revisions will not be reflected in the project list or 3D Viewer.
