JaysZ Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 http://www.emachineshop.com download the software (free). you design it, get a price quote instantly on it, submit it...they will build it and ship it to you. pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredtam Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Yeah......they have been around a while. A friend of mine ordered a few part through them and they turned out nice. You really don't need to have much cad knowledge to use the software. It warns you if you screw up or the design is incompatible with machines/ materials. Took me about 10 minutes to design door pulls and a shifter knob and I'm definately not a CAD expert: Door pulls (Al) would be $210 for a single set. $272 for ten sets. Shifter (Al) would be $121 for 1 ..........$225 for 20....... $371 for 50 Like any other machining it is usually only worthwhile if you can make and sell a run.......

JustinOlson Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 If your interested in seeing some amazing CAD work, check out this site. A local engineer here in Porltand, OR is designing a 1 passenger AWD hayabusa powered road racer. The whole design has been done in solidworks: http://www.dpcars.net/dp1bld/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
