Wire harness and sheet metal flattening services by

bestCADsolutions, Inc.

The internet's best off site engineering source!

 This web page is a new offering on our site but it is something we have been doing for a long time. Recently we have been flooded with 2D form board requests so we have decided to publish our capabilities in this area.

 Our manual formboard process insures you get a nice, clean, 2D layout with everything specified in color or black and white, right on your build pattern. Connector keying and orientation can also be provided.

Traditionally we used automated formboard programs which gave us some generic stick drawings that were lacking a quality look. This has changed. Our new formboards are calculated out to .001" or less on all segment lengths. All embedded information from your customer is included, right on the formboard layout. Wire segments show harness thicknesses, final connectors with the connector callouts, connector keying, wire information as well as crimp and strip lengths when provided. Everything is included at full scale for full length printing on 36" roll stock. Put our patterns on your workbenches and follow the pattern. It is as simple as that.

We offer complex surface flattening (Unigraphics NX Series products) and unfolding (Catia products).

 Many of our customers are involved with rubber gaskets for aircraft enclosures. We provide excellent services in this area. In addition to 2D flat patterns and 2D inspection drawings, we can also provide 3D tool designs from the 2D shape. A good example of this would be a sealing gasket with a raised seal edge. We flatten the gasket and then add in the raised edges. This saves you steel and saves you cutting time.

Fabric seat pattern flattening can be performed here based on your weave count and weave direction.

We offer sheet metal flattening of solid models (Catia, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Unigraphics).

If you want it flat, you want it now and you want it right, call us at 1-715-247-5827. We will give you a great rate and we will get it done correctly the first time.
