DBC-012

Pack: G_BASELINE Severity: minor

Deep narrow features and very sharp mold corners should justify the extra tooling process they force

Rule Card

Field Value
Pack G_BASELINE — DFM Baseline Codex
Title Deep narrow features and very sharp mold corners should justify the extra tooling process they force
Severity minor
Check logic Hybrid
Applies to CAD part, CAD pocket feature
Inputs required geometry_features, manual_context
Fix template Round, widen, or shorten the feature unless the extra tooling process is intentional and worth the cost.

Short Description

When a feature demands EDM or similarly slow tooling steps, that is a real manufacturability signal. The geometry may still be possible, but it is no longer a simple low-risk feature.

When It Applies

This rule belongs to G_BASELINE (Shared across multiple manufacturing routes) and targets CAD part, CAD pocket feature.
