Brilliant idea, bit expensive but anyone tried them?

You design the parts yourself using their cad software then it calculates how much itll cost. Few weeks later your parts appear in the post

thats cool.....

I just go see Fast Carl....

what if they decide to keep your drawing and mass produce the thing you design

I use their software a fair bit just for sketching stuff out so i can see it in 3d, handy for weighting stuff too...

not bought anything though.

what could be mace mini13?
that could be 'useful'?

I've drawn up ally verto flywheel's,

drew up the bells for my brakes,

was using it last night to show cam lift wityh diferent followers,

have drawn pistons to look at the crown thickness.

that sort of thing...

Titanium pistons?

you cant really draw pistons up on there properly, the softweares just not complex enogh,

pistons are a funky shape, oval and tapered at the same time, so they fit properly when hot.

I used their CAD software as im i tight arse and wont pay decent mony for anything. I downloaded solid works, but cant figure out how to work the instalation and crack, so gave up real easy lol.

I have had parts machined else where by supplying them with the export files, and this is the result, which works a treat But as has already been said, real complex shapes are impossible with Emachineshop, even some simple things are impossable or very difficult to draw, which is a pisser when you was an o ring groove.

I used it a lot..

Never actually ordered any parts but I used it to draw up the engine placement when I was working out my schedule 40 manifold, for free its great, I was able to rotate the compressor etc and play with the angles to make sure the turbo would fit.

I think In one of my posts there are downloadable e-machine shop drawings of the engines relationship to the bulkhead, if not I can email it to anyone intersested.

One thing I did was scan gasket drawings (for a GT15) and convert them into the program, very rough to start with but I was able to produce a decent GT15 outlet flange which I gave to the guys who eventually cut them for me. I also did the manifold flanges ..
