@TheoAli0236 My report describes a supported flat sample, without an assessment of the complete panel geometry. It also leaves the represented protective-film condition unspecified.

Send the panel drawing and stack specification to your tooling specialist. Ask for distributed support and a separate single-panel confirmation proposal.

@TheoAli0236 I'm picturing additional cups spread across the panel. Is that what you mean by distributed support, or am I oversimplifying it?

Spreading contact can reduce unsupported spans, so it's a reasonable layout to compare. Your drawing should show the edges that need controlled placement.

That still risks sounding like more cups equals less trouble. Cup position and local flexibility matter, and none of it establishes one layer.

Fair correction. I mean a layout assessed against your panel's flexibility, not a cup-count target. Layer confirmation remains its own requirement.

@TheoAli0236 Why can't good vacuum mean one panel? Wouldn't two make the reading different?
