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 required files to aaverill@harris.com. Any questions, please ask Amy Averill.
Step 1: Design the part as a sheetmetal part or a machined from solid part in Inventor
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: Create the necessary supporting documentation for fabrication

Step 3: Email the required files to aaverill@harris.com.
Step 4: 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.
