Our drafting work not only helps our clients set aside repetitive drawing tasks but also provides invaluable support in the design process. In this case, the client needed fans that could be used for various applications. We started with the documentation and sketches provided, and with the expertise of our drafter, we created several models of different sizes based on the client's requests, adapting them to typical models to create the fan prototypes.
Another advantage was seen in the manufacturing process, as we used AutoCAD (in DXF format for the cutting machine), allowing the parts to be made through an automated CAM process. This eliminated the need for manual marking and cutting. We also delivered the manufacturing drawings for creating the prototypes. After everything was finished, tests were conducted to see if the fan met the requirements. With this, several pieces of equipment that required these fans were made, and the design was standardized.
Finally, we provided design drawings to manufacture some parts that the client previously purchased, such as the rotor and the bushings to connect with the motor shaft, at a lower cost. This helped reduce their production costs. An additional bonus in our outsourced drafting work.
The screenshots below show details of the 3D model of the fan created by our Inventor specialist drafter, as well as drawings of the parts with dimensions and constructive details, but always with limited detail due to confidentiality.
