The undercut at Z-45mm on P-6001 Rev A is a 12° inner profile unreachable with standard turning tools on M-07 or M-05. DFM-UC-001

We had the same issue on P-4422 Rev A in 2023. Resolution: 0.5mm relief groove — no functional impact. Customer A approved in 2 working days. Cost saving: S$504/batch. Case-2023-041

Draft — review before sending

"The current inner profile at Z-45mm includes an undercut angle preventing access with standard CNC turning tools. We recommend a minor geometry revision — adding a small relief groove — which would fully resolve this constraint with no impact on part function, and reduce unit cost by approximately 12%."

Cost estimation engine NEW

Rough machining cost from Sateco's own ERP data — shown alongside DFM results

New in v2.0: Closes the gap vs PL ProDesk which shows instant cost estimates with DFM. IEA's cost engine uses Sateco's own ERP data — not generic market rates — making it accurate for Sateco's specific machines, materials, and processes.

Munich's annealing trials (Exp 19–22) show variant 3 achieves optimal hardness at 1,080°C for 45 min, outperforming variant 1 by 12% on tensile strength. HQ machining data confirms higher tool wear rate — Johor should validate with CNC setup before committing to production parameters.

What SOP do I use for the current P-4421 job?
Use SOP-MACH-022 Rev 3 for P-4421 turning. Key note: bore inspection requires 2hr cooldown hold per SOP-QC-114 §3.2.
Is there a DFM concern I should know about?
Yes — Rev C bore tolerance ±0.03mm. Route to M-07 only (Cpk 1.48). Do not use M-05 for this job.
