How to Submit Parts
Once a part has been modeled and is ready to be made into a physical piece, then specific files need to be generated in order for the parts to actually be made. The appropriate files needed are outlined below based on the type of part (sheetmetal versus machined). Please create a new line in the table FILES TO BE MADE for each part request and email the proper drawing and required files to aaverill@harris.com. Any questions, please ask Amy Averill.
Quick Breakdown of Types of Parts/Files Needed
Step 1: Determine if the part will be made out of sheetmetal or machined from a solid block.
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
Examples of Machined parts: pieces with intricate surfaces made from a block of aluminum
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.
