Abstract: A system for facilitating user-interactable design for manufacturability of metal tubing is configurable to (i) receive an input file comprising a representation of a metal tubing part; (ii) determine manufacturability of the metal tubing part by applying one or more manufacturing rules to the metal tubing part or the modified metal tubing part; (iii) in response to determining that the metal tubing part is not manufacturable in accordance with the one or more manufacturing rules, generate a modified metal tubing part based on the metal tubing part, wherein the modified metal tubing part satisfies the one or more manufacturing rules; (iv) present the modified metal tubing part and the metal tubing part within a user interface, wherein the modified metal tubing part and the metal tubing part are presented simultaneously or alternately; and (v) selectively enable order placement functionality within the user interface.

Abstract: A system may be configurable to (i) access an input file submitted by a user and comprising a representation of a sheet metal part; (ii) cause presentation of a user interface that enables user selection or modification of bend radius or bend angle for one or more bends of the sheet metal part; (iii) generate a modified sheet metal part based on user selection or modification of the bend radius or bend angle; (iv) determine manufacturability of the modified sheet metal part; (v) when the modified sheet metal part is manufacturable with particular manufacturing configurations available to one or more manufacturing facilities: (a) automatically determine or update a price of manufacturing the modified sheet metal part based on the particular manufacturing configurations; (b) cause presentation of the price of manufacturing the modified sheet metal part within the user interface; and (c) selectively enable order placement functionality within the user interface.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag includes a power source, a transmitter to transmit a unique identifier, and a receiver operatively coupled to the transmitter and to receive low-frequency signals from an active RFID transceiver located in the vicinity. The transmitter is activated by the power source responsive to the receiver receiving a wake up command at a predetermined low frequency from the active RFID transceiver. An RFID transceiver includes an antenna, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions and a transmitter to transmit low-frequency signals to RFID tags through the antenna. A processing device of the RFID transceiver can execute the instructions to insert a station identifier (ID) into the low-frequency signals that direct the RFID tags to retransmit the station ID, wherein the station ID identifies an approximate location of the RFID tags.
