More than just a plastic injection molding company, when you work with me I bring along 30 years of computer aided design experience. I started cadd work in 1979. Back then I built 3D models with wire frame. The process was like building each component of an assembly with tinker toys. I developed a strategy in which each 2D display necessary to traditionally define a component could be quickly isolated from the whole 3D model. Through the eighties and nineties I worked as a contract engineer on multiple projects for many different companies. During this time we developed surfacing capabilities. These surfaces were supported by the wire frame process and until the late nineties did not define a unique volume. Volumes became solids. Solids became more and more sophisticated.
Today I own a license for SolidWorks software. I have become fluent in Gerber, Computervision, Autocad, Pro-E and Catia software over my carrier and find Solidworks to be the most versatile. When you work with me you get the benefit of Solidworks. More than just steamed injection molding, Portland, Oregon residents and customers nationwide have used my services for plastic injection molding as well as generic cad conversions; including cad scale conversions and auto cad online 2006 file conversion.
Generic Cad Conversions & More
SolidWorks software is capable of converting legacy cadd data. Files containing the extensions : SolidWorks files (.prt .sldprt .asm .sldasm .drw .slddrw), DXF (.dxf), DWG (.dwg), Adobe illustrator files (.ai), Lib Feat Part (.lfp .sldlfp), Template (.prtdot .asmdot .drwdot), Parasolid (.x_t .x_b .xmt_txt .xmt_bin), IGES (.igs .iges), STEP AP203/214 (.step .stp), ACIS (.sat), VDAFS (.vda), VRML (.wrl), STL (.stl), Catia Graphics (.cgr), ProE Part (.prt .prt .,.xpr), ProE Assembly (.asm .asm .,.xsm), UGII (.prt), Inventor Part (.ipt), Inventor Assembly (.iam), Solid Edge Part (.par .psm), Solid Edge Assembly (.asm), CADKEY (.prt .ckd), Add-Ins (.dll) and IDF (.emn .brd .bdf .idb). This allows me to work directly with your vendors and suppliers. In many cases I have done the manufacturing sourcing for projects. In many cases I have done feasibility studies.
Archbar Design has 500 gigabytes of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) storage. A typical one part project will consist of less than 50 megabytes. I have a complete project for an incline elevator that consists of 1500 files and requires 1.5 gigabytes of storage. In most cases I will email files back and forth with you however if the files or group of files is greater than 20 megabytes it becomes more advantageous to use the FTP site.
