Drawings to CAD Overnight

On two recent occurrences, Mr. John Eric Voltin of Agile Technology services in Austin Texas has been a savior; converting 2D machining drawings to 2D fully dimensioned casting and associated 3D CAD files basically OVERNIGHT!!!

In a recent "panic situation", Agile started with only 2D drawings and within 2 days made casting drawings and files for 7 parts. Some of the cad files were done within hours, allowing the tooling to start immediately and allow for the buyCASTINGS team to complete investment casting tooling for 7 parts within 2 weeks. These parts were for the newly introduced MRAP military vehicle and required cast parts within weeks.

In the last six months, John has been involved in several projects where buyCASTINGS Inc. has a buyer that has final machined drawings but no casting drawings and files. In all situations, John Eric Voltin has risen to the occasion, understanding where to add machining stock and converting the 2D files to usable CAD and drawings for our foundries. The best part about this is that they have been done almost overnight.

In another MRAP related part series, Agile started work about 5PM one evening and completed 6 complete casting drawings and files by noon the next day.
