How to Submit Parts
In order to get parts made a drawing must be completed and the appropriate files must be submitted (see below for drawing and file requirements). Please create a new link on this page (under files to be made) for each part request and include the proper drawing and required files. Any questions at all, please ask Amy Averill.
Notice that to save in any of these formats, you must click on "Save Copy As".
Once your part is complete, create a new drawing for your part (.idw):
Drawing Requirements: (use the FIRST/Robotics drawing template under the English tab on the template menu).
The objective of the drawing is to show the main views of the part (front, right, left, top, bottom) and to provide dimensions so that someone can easily understand what the part is supposed to look like. The drawing should also:
- List Material
- State Quantity Required
- Provide Overall Dimensions - length, width, height ( * if the part is a sheetmetal part that is bent, then the dimensions must also include the location of the bends and the radius used to bend the part)
- Note if any hardware needs to be installed and on which surface (such as standoffs or inserts - PEMS)
- Name of student who created the drawing
- Current Date - this needs to be updated everytime a drawing is submitted to get parts made (this acts as the revision control)
* If the part will be welded, then care must be taken to design with the proper dimensioning scheme leaving room for the weldments
Once the drawing is complete, go to Save a Copy ---> Save a Copy As AUTOCAD .dwg (Autocad LT.)
'Additional' File 'Requirements:'
- Machined Parts (think parts with intricate surfaces) - .stp
- OMAX Parts (think flat parts, bar stock to be cut to length) - .dxf
This is basically a stripped down version of the drawing. It should include the face on view of the part (no other views) with no dimensions and should be scaled 1:1. If the part is bent, then it needs to be shown in the unbent state. Then use Save a Copy As and save as a .dxf Autocad LT.
