Field notes

The described workflow starts with a vehicle, a ready-made layout, or a blank panel sized to a dash, console, or rig. Customers can place components from a listed parts library and print the resulting outline at full scale for a physical fit check. Fitplate specifies 0.125-inch 5052-H32 aluminum and reports a laser-cut tolerance of ±0.005 inches.
