General Modeling Tips
How to Submit Parts for Fabrication
Follow the steps below for proper submittal of parts. It is critical to understand the type of part that is being made (sheetmetal or machined) as this will dictate the model generation along with the types of files that will be requried in order to physically make the part. Any questions, please ask Amy Averill (aaverill@harris.com).
Step 1: Determine if the part will be a sheetmetal part or a solid part
Sheetmetal parts: flat parts with holes that go all the way through the material, bar stock that needs to be cut to length, flat parts that get bent into a shape
Machined parts: pieces with intricate surfaces made from a block of aluminum
Step 2: Design the part as a sheetmetal part or a machined from solid part in Inventor
Sheetmetal parts:
Machined parts:
Step 3: Create the necessary supporting documentation for fabrication

Step 4: Email the required files to aaverill@harris.com.
Step 5: Fill in the chart below with the date, requested item, your name and the quantity required.
Machined Parts (think parts made from blocks of aluminum with intricate surfaces)
1) .dwg
2) .pdf
3) .stp
Sheetmetal - think flat parts with holes, bar stock cut to length, sheetmetal that gets bent
1) .dwg Do save copy as a autoCAD dwg.file. Must be 2000LT
2) .pdf
3) .dxf Must be 2000LT
See links for what is required in each format and how to save the files.
