Need someone who can make CAD drawings

[Speedfreak]

OK, as the title states, I need some help with making some "drawings" of some stuff I have made. I don't know much about this kind of thing, but I assume it can be CAD, Solidworks, etc. The sooner the better as well. Anyone who has the skills, speak up.

I have the skills. What type of file format do you need? I have 8+ years experience using Pro-E. What type of parts are they (sheet metal, castings, plastic, etc.)? Let me know I can probably help you out.

You will probably need DXF files if you are giving it to a machine shop. I can do them, but Mark has a lot more experience.

I can do Solidworks, but i only have a few months experience.

Cool, thanks for the replies guys. It is a turbo kit I made for the an NSX platform. So basically it is a collector off the two headers in to the turbo. Then the exhaust piping, and intercooler piping, etc.. Its a full working kit. Right now its on the car, but I plan to pull it all off as soon as I have something/someone set up. Let me know what other info you want/need. But if this is something you can do, PM me your contact info and when I should call, then we can discuss what it takes etc.

As far as type of file, I have no idea, I will be giving this to a manufacturer/bender/machine shop or whoever. So you guys know better then me what I should be using. Basically I called a couple places and some said, without "drawings" they won't work with me, others were more helpful.

You can take the invidual pieces off and have them scanned in 3d. The companies that do this also will usually convert those measurements into CAD models for you.

This is the best idea for you if you want an EXACT duplicate.

I agree with something 3D like that you will want it scanned in by a laser or CMM, doing it by hand would be nearly impossible to get all of the compound angles right.

OK, so you guys have any suggestions on who to use? Or who does this?

Where is Jakey? I know he could recommend a place or two, I think he has in other people's project threads.

Drawing each individual piece would be time consuming but definitely possible. It wouldnt be hard if you have the real thing to take measurements from, but it would take time.

I can draw you some stuff on some napkins if you want, I gotz mad skylz!
