Drafting Process Documents and Exception Reports for Mold Design and Manufacturing: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

Data for this category comes from customer product models, mold flow or forming simulation files, CAD/CAM design files, machining and measurement

This document is written based on the FastGPT v4.17.0 configuration guidelines.

What data for this category looks like

Data for this category comes from customer product models, mold flow or forming simulation files, CAD/CAM design files, machining and measurement data, and sample part inspection records. Data updates are carried out on a per-project basis, and are synchronized after each trial mold or mold modification. Daily produced documents include mold design task sheets, DFM reports, part drawings, machining process cards, trial mold reports, mold modification notices, and mold history. Document fields include the number of mold cavities, demolding angle, forming shrinkage rate, machining tolerances, and other related items.

Data sources include files in multiple formats, so interfaces must support different file types and structured data formats. Update cycles are irregular, so interfaces must support on-demand data pulling to adapt to project, trial mold, and mold modification update rhythms. Single project data volume is large, so the total transmission capacity per interface request must adapt to the combined size of multiple documents. Documents have unique business fields for molds, so interfaces must support custom field mapping to match business requirements. Frequent trial mold and mold modification updates require interfaces to have low-latency response capabilities to ensure real-time synchronization of process documents and exception reports.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
AuthorizationBearer {preset API key}Complies with HTTP interface authentication specifications, isolating data access permissions for different projects
variables{"mold_category":"injection molding","required_docs":["dfm_report","process_card"]}Passes mold category-specific parameters and specified document types, avoiding reliance on the system's default context splicing logic
responseDataReturn structured process fields and exception recordsFilters non-business-related redundant data, adapting to the field format of mold documents
Single request timeout600 secondsAdapts to the transmission duration of multiple CAD and simulation files, avoiding timeouts triggered by large file transfers
Data pull trigger ruleTriggered by project milestonesMatches the update rhythm of mold design and manufacturing based on projects, trial molds, and mold modifications

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: The interface does not pass the variables parameter, and the system automatically splices historical records as context, resulting in irrelevant historical project data. Cause: Exclusive business parameters were not passed via variables as required by the configuration, relying on the system's default context splicing logic.
  • Phenomenon: The responseData returned by the interface contains a large amount of unstructured CAD file content, leading to excessive processing time. Cause: No responseData filtering rule was configured, and only structured process and exception fields were not extracted.
  • Phenomenon: A 504 timeout status code is triggered for a single request, and the interface does not return valid data. Cause: The timeout period was not adjusted to the duration adapted to large file transfers, and the general short timeout configuration was used.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Call the configured interface and check whether the returned content only includes preset mold process and exception report related fields.
  • Verify the interface request header, confirm that the Authorization parameter is configured in accordance with specifications, and no public or universal keys are used.
  • Trigger an interface call after a trial mold, and check whether the exclusive business parameters of the current project are passed in the variables parameter.
  • Transfer a file package matching the scale of single project data, and confirm that the interface does not trigger abnormal error reports.

The values provided are common starting points and should be measured against the samples used in the actual deployment.
