Structural & Manufacturing Specification Summary

Designing a high-airflow PC fan grille (80mm, 120mm, 140mm, or 200mm), audio speaker mesh, or industrial electronics vent plate requires balancing open-area airflow percentage against structural web stiffness and ISO 13857 finger safety. Our parametric generator creates a corner-chamfered square mounting plate with 4 corner M4/M5 fan mounting holes at your exact bolt pitch (W), then populates the circular airflow aperture with concentric 60-degree staggered rings of closed circular perforations (diameter = H) separated by a rigid 3.0mm structural web bridge.

Structural Geometry & Allowances

Mathematical Blank & Tolerance Formulas

Concentric Ring Radial Step Pitch (Step_R)
Step_R = (D_hole + Web_Bridge) * (sqrt(3) / 2) = 0.866 * (H + 3.0 mm)

Packs circular perforations in a 60-degree staggered hexagonal distribution to maximize open airflow area while preserving uniform web strength.

Number of Holes in Ring k (N_k)
N_k = max(6, round((2 * pi * R_k) / (D_hole + 3.0 mm)))

Automatically scales the number of circular cutouts along each concentric ring circumference so inter-hole spacing stays constant.

Open Airflow Aperture Diameter (D_aperture)
D_aperture = L_frame - 16 mm

Matches the active blade sweep diameter of standard axial cooling fans while leaving a solid outer mounting rim.

Step-by-Step Export & Assembly Guide

  1. 1 Enter Outer Square Frame Width (L, e.g., 120mm for a 120mm PC fan), Corner Bolt Hole Pitch (W, e.g., 105mm for a 120mm fan), and Perforation Hole Diameter (H, e.g., 8mm to 12mm).
  2. 2 Inspect the concentric staggered perforation array and 4 corner mounting holes in the 2D and 3D views.
  3. 3 Export as 1:1 .DXF, .SVG, or .PDF; every single perforation hole and outer plate contour is exported on the RED CUT layer ready for instant laser or CNC cutting.

Packaging & CNC Engineering FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Circular Fan Grille & Speaker Mesh

What are the standard dimensions and bolt pitches for 80mm, 120mm, and 140mm PC fans?

For an 80mm fan: set Frame Width L = 80mm and Bolt Pitch W = 71.5mm. For a 120mm fan: set Frame Width L = 120mm and Bolt Pitch W = 105.0mm. For a 140mm fan: set Frame Width L = 140mm and Bolt Pitch W = 124.5mm.

Why are all perforation holes exported on the CUT layer instead of SCORE?

Unlike a paper calibration grid, a physical fan grille or speaker mesh must have its circular holes cut all the way through the sheet metal, acrylic, or plywood so air and sound pass freely.

What hole diameter (H) gives the best balance of airflow and finger safety?

An 8mm to 10mm hole diameter (H = 8 to 10) with a 3mm web bridge achieves over 52% open airflow area while preventing fingers and cables from contacting spinning fan blades.

Are the 4 corner mounting holes sized for standard PC fan screws?

Yes! The 4 corner mounting holes are Ø4.5mm closed circles, which accept both standard M4 machine screws and self-tapping 5mm PC case fan screws.
