Any ideas are greatly appreciated...
Hi guys, I was presented with the current lead screw setup, which raises and lowers a platform with high precision. However, as you can see in the attached pictures, if the tolerances aren't exact, the mechanism easily binds. Assembly requires shimming, and the motor powering the mechanism is...
Hi everyone,
I have a few parts which are essentially simple extrudes which I would like to send to a waterjet for manufacturing. Is there a way I save the drawing as a .dxf or .dwg file or do I have to use the DWG editor and redraw the parts?
