| 04:32.17 | ctfiwc | hi, what's the normal procedure to have my modeled part manufactured? |
| 06:58.15 | brlcad | ctfiwc: there's no such thin as normal procedure, but it depends what kind of model it is |
| 06:58.37 | brlcad | most modern manufacturers will take a 3d model, so you can just give them an export in stl or dxf format or similar |
| 06:59.28 | brlcad | we're not set up well for the ones that take drafting documents (not yet a strength) as you'll have to manually add your dimensioning information |
| 07:03.44 | ctfiwc | brlcad: yeah I was thinking about exporting 2d drawings but I don't really have an idea what they accept |
| 07:43.32 | *** join/#brlcad cristina (~quassel@188.24.6.77) | |
| 07:53.32 | archivist | depends on the manufacturer and qty, some would have cam software and be able to deal with 3d, some want to read drawings |
| 07:58.18 | archivist | expect a dialogue as the maker tries to understand the importance of parts of your design, 3d models dont show tolerances well drawings are better there |
| 07:59.54 | archivist | expect the maker to ask if changes can be made to the design to make something manufacturable at a reasonable cost |
| 10:09.54 | ctfiwc | archivist: which is usually preferred for small quatity production between 3d and drawings? |
| 10:19.13 | archivist | depends on the company you are asking, supply both and he supplier has most of the information he needs |
| 10:20.37 | archivist | on my last job I got both except the customer missed critical(to me) dimensions, so I used the model to get them |
| 10:24.46 | archivist | I make gears, cam is not cheaply available for my sort of work either |
| 10:40.08 | ctfiwc | archivist: but with brlcad it seems difficult to provide drawing |
| 10:40.31 | archivist | well yes :( |
| 10:40.39 | ctfiwc | or which free software do you recommend if I need it? |
| 10:41.23 | archivist | I currently dont have a favourite as they all have issues in some area |
| 10:46.48 | ctfiwc | so developers of brlcad (in foss world I believe developers are also heavy users) just go to use cam directly? |

| 11:17.29 | ``Erik | ctfiwc: most heavy users of BRL-CAD are more into CAE than CAM, simulation of someone elses model type stuff... cnc guys seem to like stl, so we have a g-stl exporter... and rtedge can almost kinda sorta produce something kinda closish to drafting |
| 11:19.31 | ``Erik | I think the common advice for providing technical drawings from BRL-CAD has been to do an rt-edge, load it up in your favorite 2d editor and finish it there, using nirt and/or mged to query specific numbers |
| 11:44.01 | ctfiwc | ``Erik: hmm thank you all |
| 11:51.23 | archivist | some items I get just a textual request without a drawing "I need a 18 tooth, 3.6mm crown gear that will attach to a 1mm axle. If the gear and axle could be constructed as a single piece, that would be fantastic" |
