The tapped hole is very close to an edge. Can you still tap it?

Near-edge and thin-wall threads need DFM. Call size and class on the print; engineering confirms path from diameter, depth, and material.

A thread too close to an edge can break out or bulge the wall. Call size, depth, hand, and whether the face is cosmetic. Aluminum and stainless 304 / 316 behave differently — part-by-part, not “tap will always work” in the AI price.

Quantity 1 can ask. Prefer STEP. Target 12h UTC+8. Aluminum walls commonly ≥1.0 mm.

Tick inspection if you need it. Lead time splits. No implants.
