How To Submit Parts for Fabrication At Harris

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 required in order to physically make the part.

If you have any questions, please ask Amy Averill (aaverill ---AT--- harris --DOT-- com).

Steps For Fabrication

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
2. Model the part appropriately depending on if the part is Sheetmetal or Machined from a solid part in Inventor:
   • Sheetmetal Parts: Click on the link for general tips on bend radius and material thickness: Sheetmetal Parts
   • Machined Parts:
3. Create the necessary supporting documentation for fabrication:

     -- OR --
   • Machined Parts: Click this link for steps on generating documentation for Machined Part Files and Documents
4. Email the required files to aaverill ---AT--- harris --DOT-- com.
   • CLICK the links below for each file type needed to get a detailed set of instructions on what is required for each format and how to save the files!
   • Failure to click these links and read the directions will result in your part taking longer to be made since you will have to revise the files and resubmit!
   • Sheetmetal Parts:
     • .dwg Do save copy as a autoCAD dwg file. Must be 2000LT
     • .pdf
     • .dxf - Must be 2000LT
   • Machined Parts:
     • .dwg
     • .pdf
     • .stp
5. Fill in the chart below with the date, requested item, your name and the quantity required.
