When asked to check a design for manufacturing issues:
- •Load the STL file using AnalyzeMesh to get geometry metrics
- •Get the active printer profile with GetPrinter
- •Search the vault for material-specific design rules
- •Check the following DFM criteria:
- •Watertightness (mesh must be manifold)
- •Wall thickness meets minimum for material
- •Overhangs within printer capability (typically 45 degrees)
- •Bridge spans within limits
- •Part fits within build volume
- •No inverted normals
- •Report issues with specific descriptions and fix suggestions
- •Rate the design: PASS, WARN (minor issues), or FAIL (critical issues)
