Electro Forms

Baffled electroforms and other custom-electroformed components requiring close inside tolerances, precision internal finishes, and thin walls can be made to print. Diameters as small as 0.035 inch and as large as 6 inches can be produced in either nickel, copper, gold, or silver. Lengths up to 6 inches can be readily produced, as can closed-end tubes. Flexible components can also be manufactured by combining a formed unity with a flexible bellows section. Nickel components can be furnished in weldable or solder grades to enable assembly.

2D software program

AutoDetailer 2D software program works with AutoCAD and automatically produces detail drawings from assembly Wblocks or part drawings. The software reads the Dxf file of part drawings to determine which views are available and their relationships, and knows what is milled, drilled, tapped, or turned. From this data, the program determines the necessary dimensions, correct paper size and scale, the hole, and corner call-outs. AutoDetailer then writes a script file that AutoCAD understands to produce the detail drawing.
