from solidwork to the miller

[dnborri]

hello to all, I am new to the forum and for this before I ask you my doubt, I introduce myself. My name is daniele and I do the second year of mechanical engineering at ancone. I started using cad programs very duperficially in high school and lately a bit out of curiosity and a bit by necessity I am using solidwork, but I am a self-taught, with all the defects that follow it. now we come to the fact, I designed a component, (for a wasp motor), with solidwork, and I have inention to make it realize. I press that I still have to get in touch with the miller, but I wanted to ask you, having the drawing ready, what should I bring to the miller? I'll explain better, do they usually take the brigade of turning the design into a program? and in this case, are there errors that can be committed in the design phase that could lead to an impossibility to transform the design into the program? I thank in advance anyone who can help me, since unfortunately these things are explained in recent years of university, or worse still are not even treated... .
ops I've noticed now that I've got the wrong section, I hope it's not a problem... .

or bring the table quoted with your design, or if they are high they have a cad/cam converter and finally a mach3 type software to interface to the cnc lathe. if they also work with solidworks, bring him the file of the part and do all of them, otherwise you have to bring the technical table with all odds and various views

the piece is quite complex, it is a cooling fan, and therefore I can not bring a table 2d. I think I will look for someone who works directly with solidwork or similar sftware. but there is a limit for the size of the bevel or curved fittings, or the cam knowing which tools you have available fits the fittings and curves you will have to do?

I don't think so. I think that the realization of the piece should be made on the basis of the design, consequently adapting the tools to the required processing. the opposite would seem a bit stupid, you draw a piece and you get another one out:biggrin:

depends also on the experience of the designer...
I maybe make a nice design that however becomes very complex to realize when maybe with small variations could be much less. some geometries are essential to the operation and those are to be done by force, for others perhaps even according to the production you can look for compromises

 

[dnborri]

That's exactly what I meant. For example, are there standard bending fittings or beams to be used?

the best thing would be a iterative process with the miller. I mean, you go to him, you show him the model, and then you suggest the changes that can simplify the realization, compactly with the maintenance of functionality.

Anyway, the area around ancone is full of moldists I think they're capable of doing anything, obviously you have to see at what prices.

Bye.

do not confuse the miller with who performs the milling program.
are definitely two different people.
Surely you have to interface with who performs the cnc program and your design does nothing.
3d can contain more than just geometry, can contain dimensional tolerances, geometric tolerances and surface finish.

make a nice quote before
Otherwise you should buy a new wasp:biggrin:
