Laser-cut hole limits: aspect ratio and minimum diameter
Laser-cut holes stop being round and burr-free below about one diameter deep. Minimum diameter, aspect ratio, taper and spacing by thickness, plus the callout to use.

What sets edge quality after laser cutting, which burrs matter for coating and welding, thickness limits on a 12 kW fibre laser, and how to specify deburring.
Cold store panel design for the steelwork: thermal movement, vapour seals, door-frame bridges and the numbers that stop ice, buckling and condensation.
How a DG set acoustic enclosure is cut, formed, welded and lined, with the panel mass, lining and leakage numbers that decide whether it meets 75 dB(A) at 1 m.
Electrical cabinet manufacturing for rail and infrastructure: frame welding, door flatness, gasket compression, IP testing and the powder coat that survives a trackside.
Build-to-print sheet metal manufacturing from drawing to dispatch: the nine gates, the evidence at each one, and the numbers that keep a repeat order identical.
MIG versus robotic MIG welding for OEM parts: the fit-up, access and quantity numbers that decide the route, and where a manual bench still wins.
ISO 5817 quality levels B, C and D explained: undercut, porosity and excess weld metal limits, the level to put on a drawing, and where the standard stops.
Brass holds 0.5–2 g/m² of drawing oil and forms no phosphate, so degreasing brass parts decides whether the powder stays on. Baths, rinse limits and DFT.
