    Help Designing Cell (Drawings etc)

    As the topic states I need help. What program does everybody use to design their cell.

    It varies a lot, and really doesn't matter- unless you mean what file format water jet and laser cutters like to receive so that they can just translate your file and don't have to re-draw your plates in a CAM program. Usually an AutoCad .dwg or .dxf file format is what they like to receive, although there are many others now (CAM programs) that can import several different kinds of CAD filetypes.
    If you're not having your plates water jet or laser cut, then nothing is better for design work than a pencil with a good eraser..

    Thank you for your response. I will have the plates laser cut. Need something free to create the .dwg or .dxf file format.
    I there anyone willing to help me draw my plates?
    Plates will have tabs to provide various wiring options without the need to dismantle the cell.

    WR,
    I do CAD for a living, just scan or shoot a photo of your hand drawn design to me.. I can turn it around in 30-45 min. and send a .dxf and a .dwg back to you, no charge.

    Carter, you know I still do conceptual design with pencil and paper, it helps me to finish forming an idea or re-think an idea in the rough before I flesh it out on the screen. Saves a lot of time...

    Thanks Bio. I will surely take you up on that offer.
    Plan to learn a little CAD as I have multiple designs to try out.
    I think efficiency can be greatly improved with brute force electrolysis.

    No prob, and if you come up with something that hasn't been tried before, you have to share with the rest of the kids...

    Goes without saying.
