Surface Treatment Feasibility

This section contains the following subsections:

• Shot Blast Feasibility

• Shot Peen Feasibility

• Powder Coat Cart Feasibility

• Plating Process Feasibility

• Degrease Feasibility

• Anodize Feasibility

• Vibratory Finishing Feasibility

Other surface treatment processes have no feasibility requirements.

Shot Blast Feasibility

This process is feasible only if the cut code family for the part material is not one of the following:

• 41

• 42

• 51

• 52

Shot Peen Feasibility

This process is feasible only if the cut code family for the part material is not one of the following:

• 33 (Copper)

• 41 (Thermoplastics)

• 42 (Thermosetting Plastics)

• 51 (Thermosetting Plastics)

• 52 (Thermosetting Plastics)

Powder Coat Cart Feasibility

This process is feasible only if the cut code family for the part material is not one of the following:

• 41 (Thermoplastics)

• 42 (Thermosetting Plastics)

• 51 (Thermosetting Plastics)

• 52 (Thermosetting Plastics)

Plating Process Feasibility

This process is feasible only if the part material is not one of the following:

• PVC

• PBT

• Polyethylene

Degrease Feasibility

This process is feasible only if part dimensions are all non-null and non-zero.

This process is feasible only if the cut code family for the part material is not one of the following:

• 41 (Thermoplastics)

• 42 (Thermosetting Plastics)

• 51 (Thermosetting Plastics)

• 52 (Thermosetting Plastics)

Passivation Feasibility

Passivation can only be performed on stainless steel materials; the material’s cut code must appear in the global lookup table passivationTreatments.

Bench Mask Feasibility

Bench mask operations apply only to the following:

• Features that have been manually assigned to the Masking-Bench operation

• Threaded features (Simple Holes or Curved Walls) of a part that has been routed to Anodizing.

Anodize Feasibility

Anodizing can only be performed on aluminum.

Vibratory Finishing Feasibility

This process is not available for assemblies.
