Russ: I can only state that I have prototyped several parts for mold-makers
to better be able to visualize the part depicted on a complex print (usually
fax'd).
The most recent was one last week, the drawing for which was not especially
well done, with enough hidden lines, probably eroneously drawn, that
internal slot features were difficult to discern. This particular part and
print are a good case study. Our tool-maker was VERY appreciative!
Best Regards, Tom Richards, Metallurgist
