## 1. Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) Strategy
|
|
|
|
To achieve the sub-$65 chassis budget target and eliminate costly multi-axis sheet metal press brake tooling:
|
|
1. **100% Bend-Free Flat Pattern Topology:** Every panel is a 2D flat laser-cut plate. All structural stiffness, corner joints, and 3D volume are provided by the 2020 extrusion skeleton.
|
|
2. **Standardized Hole Sizing:**
|
|
- Panel mounting screw clearance holes are standardized to **Ø4.5mm** (for M4 button head screws into drop-in T-nuts).
|
|
- Component standoff holes are **Ø3.5mm** (for M3 motherboard/PCB standoffs).
|
|
3. **Minimum Feature Spacing Rules (SendCutSend DFM Checked):**
|
|
- Hole diameter $\ge \text{Material Thickness}$ ($4.5\,\text{mm} > 1.27\,\text{mm}$ $\checkmark$).
|
|
- Hole-to-edge distance $\ge 2\times \text{Thickness}$ ($10.0\,\text{mm} > 2.54\,\text{mm}$ $\checkmark$).
|
|
- Hole-to-hole web thickness $\ge 2\times \text{Thickness}$ ($20.0\,\text{mm} > 2.54\,\text{mm}$ $\checkmark$).
