Wavelength Electronics provides the following types of files for each product:

1. 1. SOLIDWORKS Drawing (SLDDRW)
      • These files provide convenient opening and copying, and include part models with dimensions.

1. 2. SOLIDWORKS Part (SLDPRT)
      • These files provide the view of the model without dimensions.
   3. IGS & STL
      • Useful for customers with access to those programs on their CNC machines or fabrication software.
   4.  PDF
      • The PDF provided is a copy of the SLDDRW file, but in PDF format.

Wavelength Electronics utilizes SolidWorks for all mechanical drawings. SolidWorks can open all of the files provided. In addition to SolidWorks, there are programs such as SolidWorks Viewer and MiTek Sapphire Viewer that allow viewing of the drawings without having the full software package installed.

If you are still having difficulties opening the mechanical files, please contact Technical Support, and provide the file extension desired. For example, we can provide STEP files.
