Providing files for CNC production<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How to provide the right files for CNC production? You have a part you want to outsource to a turning- and milling company. What do you need to provide? We prefer to receive both a 2D (.PDF) and 3D (.STEP) drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2D drawing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2D drawing as .PDF, with the following information mentioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Drawing number<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Revision management (really pratical to keep track of your part\u2019s revisions, then we can see what has changed and we can save it with the right drawing number)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Projection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tolerances<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Screw thread<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Material<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Maximum size<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Surface roughness<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Desired treatments (like anodizing, laser marking, pin engraving)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    3D file<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    3D file as .STEP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can open the .STEP files in the software TopSolid. If necessary, we can look up additional sizes that weren\u2019t mentioned in the 2D drawing. That can save a lot regarding communication and efficiency. A 3D file is not always necessary, it depends on the complexity of the part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
