How to Submit Parts for Fabrication

Follow the steps below for proper modeling and 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 ().

 

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:  Model the part as a sheetmetal part or a machined from solid part in Inventor

 Examples of Sheetmetal parts:  flat parts, Sheetmetal parts:

Step 3:  Create the necessary supporting documentation for fabrication

                                                                     OR

 

Step 4:  Email the required files to . 

 

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)   

 2)

 3)

Sheetmetal - think flat parts with holes, bar stock cut to length, sheetmetal that gets bent

  1) Do save copy as a autoCAD dwg.file. Must be 2000LT

  2) 

  3)  Must be 2000LT

See links for what is required in each format and how to save the files.
