Avoid unnecessary undercuts and side actions when simpler geometry can do the job
Rule Card¶
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Pack | G_BASELINE — DFM Baseline Codex |
| Title | Avoid unnecessary undercuts and side actions when simpler geometry can do the job |
| Severity | major |
| Check logic | Hybrid |
| Applies to | CAD part |
| Inputs required | geometry_features, manual_context |
| Fix template | Remove or simplify the undercut so the part can be produced without extra side-action hardware. |
Short Description¶
Undercuts, slides, cams, and lifters add cost, maintenance, and cycle complexity. If the functional need is real, keep them. If not, redesign the geometry so the tool can open cleanly.
When It Applies¶
This rule belongs to G_BASELINE (Shared across multiple manufacturing routes) and targets CAD part.
