Rmfg Dfm

Blocks that check manufacturability (design for manufacturing) of a configured design. A DFM report says whether the configuration is ready, needs input or is blocked, and reports what each part and hole can take.

RMFG Create DFM Report

What it is

Runs an RMFG manufacturability (DFM) check on a configured design. A blocked finding such as a hole close to a bend can be accepted with accepted_risks once the customer agrees; requires_input means a material or profile is still missing

How it works

Posts the design ID and a manufacturing configuration to /v1/dfm with an Idempotency-Key. Precedence is per-part override, then defaults; the material_id input is a shortcut that sets defaults.material_id. RMFG answers with a status per part and overall: ready, requires_input (a selection is missing, listed in requirements) or blocked (the geometry or configuration cannot be made). Neither of the latter is an error; they are results for the graph to act on. Findings carry a severity, and warning-level ones such as a hole near a bend can be accepted by listing their code in accepted_risks. Each part's capabilities list which finishes, colors and hardware fit that part and each of its holes.

Unknown design, material or hardware IDs are rejected by RMFG and surfaced as RMFG <code>: <message> (field: <path>). By default production files (laser DXF, corrected STEP) are also prepared; their status arrives on the report and can be re-read with Get DFM Report. Reports are immutable, so a changed configuration means a new report. review_url is emitted only when RMFG provides one.

Inputs

Input	Description	Type	Required
design_id	Design ID from Analyze Design	str	Yes
material_id	Sheet-metal stock for every sheet part, from List Materials. Leave empty for tube-only designs or when configuration sets it.	str	No
configuration	Per-part material, tube profile, finish, powder coat, hole operations, welds and accepted risks. A non-empty material_id above overrides defaults.material_id.	ManufacturingConfiguration	No
generate_production_files	Also prepare laser DXF and corrected STEP files.	bool	No
idempotency_key	Stable key for identical retries; defaults to the node execution ID.	str	No

Outputs

Output	Description	Type
error	Error message if the request failed	str
report	The full DFM report	DFMReport
dfm_id	Report ID, for review links and re-reads	str
status	ready, requires_input (a selection is missing) or blocked	"requires_input" | "ready" | "blocked"
is_ready	True when nothing prevents ordering	bool
configuration	The configuration that was evaluated; feed it to a quote	ManufacturingConfiguration
issues	Every finding across all parts and the assembly	List[DFMIssue]
issue	One finding at a time	DFMIssue
requirements	Selections still needed before the design can be quoted	List[Requirement]
parts	Per-part status, findings, capabilities and images	List[PartDFM]
review_url	Website page showing this exact configuration for a person to adjust; emitted when RMFG provides one	str

Possible use case

Resolving requires_input: Read the material_required requirement and each part's capabilities, pick a compatible material, and re-run.

Accepting a Known Risk: After the customer approves a hole-near-bend warning, re-run with its code in accepted_risks.

Production File Prep: Generate laser DXF and corrected STEP files for a configuration that is already priced.

RMFG Get DFM Report

What it is

Fetches an RMFG DFM report by ID

How it works

Fetches /v1/dfm/{id} and emits the same outputs as Create DFM Report. Findings never change, but the production_files status does, so re-reading tells you when DXF and STEP files are ready or whether preparation failed with a manual-review warning.

An unknown or foreign report ID is reported as RMFG not_found_error: <message>. issue is emitted once per finding, so a clean report yields none, and review_url only when present.

Inputs

Input	Description	Type	Required
dfm_id	Report ID from Create DFM Report	str	Yes

Outputs

Output	Description	Type
error	Error message if the request failed	str
report	The full DFM report	DFMReport
dfm_id	Report ID, for review links and re-reads	str
status	ready, requires_input (a selection is missing) or blocked	"requires_input" | "ready" | "blocked"
is_ready	True when nothing prevents ordering	bool
configuration	The configuration that was evaluated; feed it to a quote	ManufacturingConfiguration
issues	Every finding across all parts and the assembly	List[DFMIssue]
issue	One finding at a time	DFMIssue
requirements	Selections still needed before the design can be quoted	List[Requirement]
parts	Per-part status, findings, capabilities and images	List[PartDFM]
review_url	Website page showing this exact configuration for a person to adjust; emitted when RMFG provides one	str

Possible use case

Production Files Ready: After a dfm_report.production_files.ready event, read the report and forward the file links to the shop floor.

Audit Trail: Re-read the report a quote was based on to show the customer exactly what was checked.

Failed Preparation: Detect a production_files failure and route the design to a person for review.
