Thank you for outlining the issue you’ve been experiencing with the sheet metal bends and the beveling on the edge of the bend line. I understand that this slight bevel is causing a double cut during the laser cutting process, which can be quite challenging.

Regarding your question about using the InventorServer API, we will study the feasibility of extracting just the top or bottom face of the flat pattern using the API in combination with Forge. To better understand your specific situation and provide the most accurate solution, we would appreciate it if you could provide more details, such as:

1. The specific version of Inventor you are using.

2. Any sample data set or files where the beveling issue is occurring (if non-confidential and permissible).

3. Any additional context on how you are currently exporting the flat pattern via DataIo.

4. A video demonstrating the issue would be particularly helpful.

Once we have more information, we can explore possible solutions and API functionalities to address the problem.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks and regards,
