Surface Treatment Feasibility
This section contains the following subsections:
Other surface treatment processes have no feasibility requirements.

• 41
• 42
• 51
• 52
Shot Peen Feasibility
This process is feasible only if the cut code family for the part material is not one of the following:
• 33 (Copper)
• 41 (Thermoplastics)
• 42 (Thermosetting Plastics)
• 51 (Thermosetting Plastics)
• 52 (Thermosetting Plastics)
Powder Coat Cart Feasibility

Degrease Feasibility
This process is feasible only if part dimensions are all non-null and non-zero.
This process is feasible only if the cut code family for the part material is not one of the following:
• 41 (Thermoplastics)
• 42 (Thermosetting Plastics)
• 51 (Thermosetting Plastics)

Passivation Feasibility
Passivation can only be performed on stainless steel materials; the material’s cut code must appear in the global lookup table passivationTreatments.
Bench Mask Feasibility
Bench mask operations apply only to the following:
• Features that have been manually assigned to the Masking-Bench operation
• Threaded features (Simple Holes or Curved Walls) of a part that has been routed to Anodizing.
Anodize Feasibility
Anodizing can only be performed on aluminum.
Vibratory Finishing Feasibility
This process is not available for assemblies.
Conveyor Abrasive Finishing Feasibility
Conveyor Abrasive Finishing is feasible only if all the following hold:
• Compatible process group: primary process group is not one of the following:
o Assembly
o Assembly Molding
o Composites
o Plastic Molding
o Roto & Blow Molding
o Sheet Plastic
• Compatible material: material cut code is not 41, 42, 51, 52, or 60; that is, material type is not one of the following:
o Glass-filled thermoplastic (41)
o Glass-filled thermoset (42)
o Unfilled thermoplastic (51)
o Unfilled thermoset (52)
o Composite (60)
