I am a replica prop designer and I have always wanted to do machining for my props. I have looked into buying a mill for this purpose but never could afford one. I would like to get an idea of what the cost is to hire one of you to convert my 3d files (lightwave exported to dxf) into a working cad/cam file.

 

I would also be interested in what you would charge to create these cad cam files from simple photos and produce the actual machined props for me.

 

Please email me if you can do all of the above

Hello rwerden,

 

We just got a 5 axis machining center not too long ago and would be happy to quote machining some props for you. Another company close to us bought the exact same machine to make custom hydro-plane props, they are having great success with them. We would need a model and your requirements as far as surface finish and tolerance to give you a decent quote. Hope we can help

To All:

If this is for a real plane one would beter talk to the FAA before undertaking this kind of work.

This can be a libility issue

You are right!

 

The one on James head had just proved by FAA last week.

Think about this guys...

 

Props can also be used in movies and the like. He is designing in Light wave and then exporting DXF??

 

I am sure any Propeller manufacturer would at minimum be using a proper 3D Modelling suite...

Yes, we "can do all of the above" and more. Look at our website. But,don't count us in. We are too busy. Too much work and too much OT. We need more designers and model makers.

 

Sorry!
