Corner relief missing

Sheet metal

Scope and limits

Two bends that meet at a corner of a base face without a corner relief and whose bend zones overlap when unfolded into the flat pattern (material that would have to exist twice; Protocase, SendCutSend, DFMPro: relief width >= t, depth >= R + t). Closed corners whose unfolded bend zones are disjoint are shop-typical and not reported.

Tray corners without relief

Model example

A 100 × 60 × 25 mm tray whose four walls are bent from one blank and meet at the corners with no relief: where two perpendicular bends meet, their bend zones overlap in the flat pattern. Inspect the four corner bends.

Dimensions (approx.): 102 × 26 × 62 mm

Expected check result

PRU-109 should warn that the corner bends have no relief (and nothing else).

Tray corners with relief

Model example

The same tray with each wall shortened by 8 mm at both ends, leaving a corner gap.

Dimensions (approx.): 102 × 26 × 62 mm

Expected check result

PRU-109 must stay silent: the corner gap relieves the bend zones.
