What Data for This Category Looks Like
Core data for mold design and manufacturing categories typically comes from customer product models, mold flow or forming simulation files, CAD/CAM design files, machining and measurement data, and sample part inspection reports. Daily documents include mold design task sheets, DFM reports, part drawings, machining process cards, mold trial reports, mold modification notices, and mold history logs. Common fields include mold number, part dimensional tolerances, demolding angles, and mold trial defect records. Common units include millimeters, seconds, megapascals, and others. Data is updated per individual mold project, with new documents and data generated after each mold trial or modification.
How These Characteristics Impact HTTP Interfaces and External Systems
Data for this category is updated independently per project and includes multiple types of large files. HTTP interfaces must support precise data retrieval by project ID to avoid cross-project data mixing. Document formats vary, and some files have large sizes, so interfaces must support transmission of large files such as CAD models and mold flow simulation results. Mold trial and modification processes have high iteration frequencies, so interfaces must support real-time or near-real-time data synchronization to ensure information timeliness for audit workflows. Errors in mold audits directly affect mass production timelines, so interfaces must include reliable fault tolerance mechanisms to prevent audit delays caused by interrupted data synchronization.
How to Set Up Configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Request timeout | 600 seconds | Single batches of data for mold design projects are large, this avoids interrupting data synchronization due to timeout |
Authorization | Bearer ${exclusive secret key} | Used for identity verification when connecting to enterprise PDM or ERP systems, to ensure data access security |
variables | Bind project ID and mold number variables | Retrieve corresponding documents per individual mold project, to avoid cross-project data mixing |
responseData | Extract only core fields from DFM reports and mold trial reports | Reduce invalid data transmission and improve interface processing efficiency |
| Retry attempts | 3 | Address interface call failures caused by network fluctuations, and ensure complete synchronization of mold trial defect data |
| File upload size limit | 1000 MB | Support transmission of large files such as CAD models and mold flow simulation results |
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- The
responseDatafield returned by the interface is empty. This occurs when project ID or mold number variables are not correctly bound, leading to retrieval of unrelated invalid data. - Interface calls frequently time out. This occurs when a reasonable timeout value is not configured, which fails to accommodate the transmission and parsing of large CAD models and mold flow simulation files.
- Identity verification fails. This occurs when the
Authorizationparameter is not correctly configured, using an expired key or omitting the standard Bearer prefix.
How to Verify Successful Configuration
- Call the FastGPT v4.17.0 test interface, pass a known valid mold project ID, and check if
responseDataincludes the expected core fields from DFM reports and mold trial reports. - Upload the maximum-size CAD model file, confirm that the interface can receive the file normally and complete data synchronization without error prompts.
- Replace the expired test key, call the interface, and check if an identity verification failure prompt is returned to verify that the
Authorizationconfiguration works correctly. - Simulate network fluctuation scenarios, call the interface multiple times, and confirm that the system automatically triggers the retry mechanism and resumes normal synchronization processes.
