Machined Part

In earlier conversations with manufacturing, a
decision was 1nade that the part would be

machined.

Your material supplier stocks raw material in rod,
sheet, plate, angle and block forms.

You decide to start with a standard plate form.

As a designer, review your 111anufacturing

options.

Utilize standard material thickness and hole
sizes in the PLATE design. Utilize standard
stock in the ROD design.

Utilize slot cuts in the GUIDE design.

Machined parts require dimensions to
detem1ine the overall size and shape. Datum
planes determine the location of referenced

dimensions. Add geometric relations and
dimensions to full y define the geometry

Understanding reference planes and views is i1nportant as you design machined parts.
Before you create the PLATE, review the next topic on Reference Planes and

Orthographic Projection.
