Fabrication data

Flat cassette — at 600 × 400 mm in 4 mm ACM, this family unfolds into a 704 × 504 mm flat pattern with 8 folds, all grooved from the back: no pass on the coated face. A 1,500 × 3,200 mm sheet holds 12 of them, for 15.7 % waste.

Manufacturing constraints

  1. The return must exceed the groove width plus half the bend deduction, or the groove eats into the return.
  2. Tabs are shortened by (max(return, tab) + 2 mm) at each end so adjacent tabs never collide behind the panel. A side too short gets no tab.
