I've submitted my files to InstantDFM and received a "Caution" remark. Does this mean there's a problem with my design and it can't be manufactured?

Hopefully, when you submit your files using InstantDFM you received a message that states "Nicely Done! Your design data appears to be complete."

But, what if you get a message that states "Caution! We've identified some issues that you may want to address before submitting your design for manufacturing. Please review the remarks below and contact us if you would like more detail on how to address these potential issues."?

Does this mean your design has an issue that must be corrected before it can be manufactured? Not necessarily. However, InstantDFM does try to identify areas which may fall below our standard, allowed tolerances. While this doesn't mean your design can't be manufactured, it may mean that you could incur higher manufacturing costs.

If, after receiving your DFM results, you select the 'Buy Now' option and are presented with options to customize and quote your project, then you can feel comfortable that we are able to manufacture your design. However, if there is a design issue preventing us from moving forward with manufacturing then we will notify you of this fact when you select the 'Buy Now' button and you will not be allowed to move forward with customization and quoting prior to resolving the noted issues.

If there's ever any doubt about a caution remark reported by InstantDFM, don't hesitate to contact us for more information.
