You receive a call from the sales department. They inform you that the customer

increased the initial order by 200,000 units. However, the customer requires a prototype

to verify the design in six days. What do you do? Answer: Contact a Rapid Prototype

supplier. You export three SOLIDWORKS files:

• HOUSING

• LENSCAP

• BATTERYPLATE

Use the Stereo Lithography (STL) format. Email the three files to a Rapid Prototype

supplier. Example: Paperless Parts Inc. (www.paperlessparts.com). A Stereolithography

(SLA) supplier provides physical models from 30 drawings. 2D drawings are not

required. Export the HOUSING. SOLID WORKS eDrawings provides a facility for you

to animate, view and create compressed documents to send to colleagues, customers and

vendors. Publish an eDrawing of the FLASHLIGHT assembly.
