What does it mean to be concave when talking about die cut parts?

When die cutting parts, the material is compressed so it doesn’t move. The blade then strikes the material through and then the compression is released. An inward curve is on each side of the cut edge. The concavity becomes more apparent on thicker parts. If this is a problem, parts could be cut using the more expensive water jet method.
