Display-unit panel
A flat part with a described outline and mounting holes.

- Outline, fixing method and number of parts.
- Open question
- Which dimensions matter for assembly?
Guide / DEMO processing directions
The need comes first.
The direction follows.
Outline, geometry or joint? Organise the purpose and information before discussing production. Sample materials and parameters do not confirm a factory's capabilities.
01 / Short guide
Start with the need.
The selection shows a direction for discussion and information to prepare. It works locally using visible rules.
Choose a need. We will show where to start the description.
The rule is explicit: flat outline → cutting; three-dimensional shape → bending; assembly → a discussion of joining. “I do not know yet” leaves the direction open. Material and documentation status change the information list; they are not a technical assessment. AI is disabled.
01 / Flat outline
Cutting
Start with the shape, material type and number of parts. This example shows how to organise information before speaking to a manufacturer.
- Application
- A flat part with a described outline: a panel, spacer or plate.
- Input data
- Outline or description; material, thickness and quantity if agreed.
- To confirm
- Choosing a direction alone does not confirm the manufacturing method. The manufacturer reviews documentation and part details.
What should you ask the manufacturer?
Are the outline and all important part features clearly described?
Material, documentation, scope and parameters need a separate agreement.
02 / Three-dimensional shape
Bending
Separate the finished shape from information about planned bends. The final method and feasibility require a drawing review.
- Application
- A component formed from flat material, such as a concept bracket.
- Input data
- Target geometry, planned bends, material and dimensions; unknowns recorded separately.
- To confirm
- The number of bends is not enough to assess the part. Geometry and documentation need a separate review.
What should you ask the manufacturer?
Are the target shape and features important for assembly described?
Material, documentation, scope and parameters need a separate agreement.
03 / Component assembly
Joining
Describe the components, expected joining method and intended use. The visualisation shows a welding example; the joining method remains to be agreed.
- Application
- Parts intended to form a whole, such as a concept display frame.
- Input data
- A description of parts, their arrangement, intended use and expected joint.
- To confirm
- The description specifies neither the joining method nor joint parameters. Those decisions need agreement with the manufacturer.
What should you ask the manufacturer?
Is it clear which parts will be joined and what function the assembly serves?
Material, documentation, scope and parameters need a separate agreement.
Material / information for discussion
The category is just
the start of the description.
In this DEMO, “steel” or “aluminium” is a material group. It specifies neither grade, condition, finish nor suitability for the application.
- If you know the designation, include it in the description for consultation.
- If you do not know the material or thickness, choose “to be agreed”.
- Do not infer part specifications from an AI visualisation.

Three illustrative briefs show how to prepare information. They are neither client projects nor evidence of a factory's capabilities.

Enclosure bracket
A three-dimensional bracket joining a sample enclosure to a base.
- Starting point
- Finished shape, planned bends and mounting points.
- Open question
- How should the formed geometry be described?
03 / Synthetic example · DEMO
Display frame
Several parts forming a sample display unit.
- Starting point
- A list of parts, their arrangement and a joint description.
- Open question
- Which features of the completed assembly need checking?
The images are AI process visualisations, not documentation of the projects shown. Numbers in the examples are DEMO data.
All briefs are illustrative. Entered numbers demonstrate the form; they do not represent an offer, tolerances, machine availability or confirmation of production.
