-First question, does the person or place you are going to have your CAD program. Such as Solidworks or Inventor.

If they do, then all you do is give them the files (usually a Shop). They transfer the drawing to a CAM program. Then they can run the files.

If they don't have your CAD program, save as the files into the STEP or IGES or SAT format.

P.s. need more help pm or im me.
