Request for Workshop
services
WORKSHOP PROCESS
1.
Discuss the job with the Technical Officer
in charge of your relevant area before developing the detailed drawings.
Technical Officers are happy to provide guidance in design, material selection and manufacture.
2.
Develop the necessary drawings/sketches then meet with your Lab Technical staff to confirm concept design and ability to
manufacture (can the workshop make it or does it need to be sent out?)
3.
Complete the drawings in CAD, confirm Workshop Job Form is complete, confirm drawings have all relevant dimensions,
tolerances and finish details and are checked/confirmed with your Technical Officer for ability to manufacture. Your
Technical Officer will arrange a meeting with workshop staff to discuss manufacturing details if necessary. If relevant, a cost
estimate will be discussed at this stage.
4.
Obtain final signature and approval from the Technical Officer in your lab area, Academic Supervisor (if student), and cost-
centre approver.
5.
Order appropriate materials with your Technical Officer.
6.
Submit the final drawings to [email protected] or in person to the workshop (room 120, J18).
7.
The job will be listed in the Workshop Job Queue (available to view on the School website).
* Please note that the job will not appear in the queue until all drawings are complete, material is available and any specially
purchased tooling has arrived.
The priority of a job can only be changed by the Laboratory Manager. Large jobs (greater than 10 days work) need the approval of
the Laboratory Manager.
If your job requires consumables to complete the work, the workshop will require a project code to cover the
cost. Tracking of all consumable costs is kept by the workshop at the bottom of this form. Your Technical Officer can advise and
help in obtaining an estimate of additional costs before work commences on your job.
If part of the job is required to be completed via and external contractor (e.g. laser cutting), a project code must be provided
for these costs. You will be consulted before this occurs.
