Input File Formats

3Gmetalworx can work with full mechanical specifications, or with as little data as the PCB layout. We accept GERBER or DXF data as a starting point, and can handle most solid models, although IGES and STEP are preferred. Many clients provide the top layer of the PCB in DXF format for positional data, together with a list of parameters such as package height and material choice, and we take care of the rest.

Documentation Services

As part of our first pass on any new product, we communicate fully the intended solution and enable our clients to review and adjust the design prior to build. We model all designs exactly as they will be built, eliminating miscommunication and guesswork. Our mechanical drawings are fully documented specifications provided in PDF format. We offer solid geometry for electronic fit checking in SolidWorks native format, IGES or STEP. You can depend on 3Gmetalworx for end to end support of your design activities.
