To discuss your project in person, please bring the following information:
- Parts must be drawn and modeled in Solidworks, no matter how big or small.
- If multiple parts are used, a Solidworks assembly model is required.
- Fasteners and off-the-shelf hardware must be included in assembly model, if applicable.
- If the parts are attached to an existing assembly, part or off the shelf item, that item is to be represented in the assembly model.
- Engineering drawings of each part are to be created on title blocks with appropriate dimensions and tolerances, quantities and materials.
- Assembly drawings with bill of materials are to be created, if applicable.
- All drawings and models are subject to shop manager and technician approval before fabrication process can begin.
- This procedure is an exercise of what is expected of an engineer in industry and the same process the shop technicians use to design and fabricate projects for customers.
