Drawings of Components

Quiklatch Drawing
Short Bill of Materials
Lessons Learned
- I learned what a Bill of Materials is, and how important it is to the design process
- Learned I could easily order the quiklatch from a local distributor, and that the manufacturer actually offers solidwork drawings of their Quiklatch assemblies.
