| | When submitting a Request for Quote, please inform your Montrose Representative as to the type of CAD data and/or prints that will be supplied and which media will take precedence. |
| | CAD files can be sent to Montrose via email if you compress them, or you can send them on CD-ROM or floppy media. Or you may FTP the files to us through the Web link. Please call you Montrose representative for a FTP login and password. |
| | Prints containing the following information should be supplied at the time of quote: |
| | o CTF Dimensions, Tolerances, and special Notes o Engraving location and specifications o Surface Finish/Texture location and specifications o Cosmetic or "Non-ejection" surfaces o Minimum & Maximum allowable draft and corner radii o Current Part Name, Number, and Revision Level |
| | CAD files should be drawn to the "mean" of specified part tolerances. If Tolerances are not supplied, the tool(s) will be built to a standard tooling tolerance of +- .005 (.13mm) from the CAD file. |
| | CAD files should contain complete and clean wire-frame geometry which is free of duplicate entities. All end points should meet within .0001 and data should accurately represent the current revision level. |
| | CAD file should contain complete and clean surface geometry for all non-planar and non-cylindrical part surfaces. Surfaces should be free of inverted normals and all boundaries should meet within .0001. Parametric trimmed (114, 144), Ruled (118), and Nurb (Rational B-spline 128) surfaces are preferred. |
| | Part should be designed with adequate draft angles for mold release and texturing. A five degree minimum is recommended for potential shutoff (slide-by) areas. Part design should be free of thick areas prone to sink as well as details which may be too thin to fill. |
| | Mating Parts should be designed with sufficient clearance and should be reviewed prior to tool design. |
| | Potential cam and lifter areas should be designed with sufficient clearance for travel.
