Sheet metal, weldments and holes
Caddie reads what the shop cares about: sheet metal thickness and bend settings, weldment cut lists, and the size and depth of every Hole Wizard hole.
Sheet metal
For a sheet metal part, Caddie reads the thickness, inside bend radius, bend allowance (K-factor, bend allowance, bend deduction or a table), the relief ratio, whether the part is flattened, and the flat pattern's size and bend count from the cut list.
You need a 182.6 × 95 mm blank in 1.5 mm AISI 304 stainless steel. That’s the flat-pattern bounding size with both bends accounted for using your current K-factor of 0.44.
Use the flat-pattern DXF for the actual cut outline and holes, and confirm the bend allowance with your fabricator before cutting.
Weldments
For a weldment, Caddie reads the cut list: each profile's description, length, end angles and quantity.
You need 8 pieces of 30 × 30 × 2.60 mm square tube:
- 4 at 630 mm, with 45° mitres at both ends.
- 4 at 970 mm, with square cuts at both ends.
Those are finished cut lengths; allow extra stock for saw kerf.
Hole Wizard holes
For each Hole Wizard feature, Caddie reads the hole type and standard, the size and fastener, whether it's through or blind, its depth, counterbore or countersink sizes, thread depth, and how many holes there are. It also checks them against the part.
The four holes in M6 Tapped Hole1 are M6 × 1.0, with a specified thread depth of 10 mm. The Ø5 mm tap-drill holes are blind, 12 mm deep.
That depth is worth checking: the cover is only 1.5 mm thick, so you won’t get 10 mm of thread unless there’s a thicker boss or insert at those locations.
