When a formed part needs review.

A review flag identifies a manufacturing question to resolve before the part is ordered.

Common reasons for review

  1. Blank or bend size

    The online flat blank must fit 59 × 119.25 inches. The online maximum bend length is 120 inches.

  2. Tooling and tonnage

    The bend must fit an available die and stay within the online 170-ton working limit and tooling load limits.

  3. Feature clearance

    A short flange, hole near a bend, narrow web, or missing bend relief can need a manufacturing check.

  4. Model or thickness uncertainty

    If the solid cannot be interpreted reliably, the shop needs to confirm the geometry before pricing.

What to do with a review flag

  1. Read the affected part's message

    Check the feature or bend identified in the quote. Review the preview against your intended design.

  2. Correct a file only if needed

    If the file is wrong, replace it with the correct revision. A valid design can still need shop review.

  3. Submit the review request

    Provide your contact details and submit the flagged quote. The shop reviews the part before confirming price and next steps.

Multiple bends can still receive instant pricing

Bend count alone does not decide whether a part needs review. Ordinary multi-bend parts can qualify when the model, clearances, tooling, and machine requirements fit the online rules.
