PMI Foam Core CAD File Handoff Checklist: Format, Revision and Geometry Review

The CAD-file-handoff checklist begins with a defined project question. This page frames the CAD-file-handoff checklist as a controlled project question. It does not establish universal material performance, a manufacturing guarantee, a commercial commitment, an acceptance decision or a customer outcome outside the active project record.

Engineering note

Define the engineering decision

The engineering decision is how CAD files, drawing revisions, units, datums, features and requested outputs should be prepared for controlled technical handoff. This page frames the CAD-file-handoff checklist as a controlled project question. It does not establish universal material performance, a manufacturing guarantee, a commercial commitment, an acceptance decision or a customer outcome outside the active project record.

Engineering note

Translate the part into a controlled geometry brief

The controlled component information should address file format, revision, units, datums, part envelope, local features, interfaces, notes and required output state. This page frames the CAD-file-handoff checklist as a controlled project question. It does not establish universal material performance, a manufacturing guarantee, a commercial commitment, an acceptance decision or a customer outcome outside the active project record.

03
Engineering note

Connect the material question to the process route

The review route is to provide the governing model or drawing and record unresolved file or geometry questions before the project review proceeds. This page frames the CAD-file-handoff checklist as a controlled project question. It does not establish universal material performance, a manufacturing guarantee, a commercial commitment, an acceptance decision or a customer outcome outside the active project record.

Engineering note

Keep technical evidence within its stated boundary

Useful evidence includes STEP/STP, DXF/DWG, STL or other controlled files, drawing revision, units statement and project clarification record. This page frames the CAD-file-handoff checklist as a controlled project question. It does not establish universal material performance, a manufacturing guarantee, a commercial commitment, an acceptance decision or a customer outcome outside the active project record.

Related questions

Questions that make the next engineering conversation more useful.

01Can a generic CAD-file-handoff checklist page approve a project configuration?

No. It organizes the review question; the applicable project documents, controlled geometry, process scope, evidence and responsible authorization determine the decision.

02What should be supplied for a CAD-file-handoff checklist discussion?

Provide the released drawing or model, current revision, material or construction context, process question, related documents and required validation or approval decision.
