When a technician is going to assemble an equipment, a structure, a mechanism or a mechanical device in the assembly workshop, he will not only use parts previously manufactured specifically, but will also use different commercial components that have been previously purchased from different suppliers. Therefore, in the same way, when designing and modeling in 3D that mechanical device we will also create from scratch parts that must be manufactured, but commercial components, such as various screws, gears, bearings, pneumatic or hydraulic devices, gaskets and seals, electrical elements, valves, motors, reducers, pipes, metal profiles, etc., we can download them from 3D libraries available on the Internet . Below we show you some of these libraries and explain how you can use their content. Most of the 3D component libraries we are referring to are multi-manufacturer platforms, so you can find similar elements in them, but from different brands.
They are usually free; but, to access their content, almost all of them require you to register and create a user account. Once done, you will be able to log in, search and download Saint Helena Email List the files containing the multi-component 3D model. The files for these components are available in different formats , some of them native to the different 3D drawing software that exists today, such as Solid Edge or NX, but also in generic graphic file exchange formats, such as Step or Parasolid. Although there are many more, below we indicate some of the 3D CAD libraries that you can use: which is one of the ones we recommend for our students to use when they study. 3D CAD with Solid Edge . Once we have registered, we can enter our account and search for the component that we are interested in adding to our design; for example, a pneumatic cylinder : smc-cylinder-blogseas Image_04: SMC brand pneumatic cylinders for 3D download on the Traceparts website.
If we click on the name of one of the components in the list resulting from the search, a dynamic three-dimensional image of the component is displayed. preview-component-blogseas Image_05: Dynamic preview of the component prior to downloading the 3D model. After choosing the format of the 3D file that we want to obtain (in our case Solid Edge), just click on the download icon to obtain a compressed file that will contain the piece or parts that make up our component , along with the corresponding assembly, if applicable. . content-archive-blogseas Image_06: Content of the compressed file obtained when downloading the 3D model Once on our computer, as can be seen, the download we have made contains two pieces (files with a .par extension) and a set (file with a .asm extension). All you have to do is click on the assembly file to open it in the 3D drawing software (Solid Edge), where we can use it as another element of the design we are making. piece-3d-solid-blogseas Image_07: 3D model of the downloaded component opened in Solid Edge. It is even possible to edit the pieces that make it up, such as adding holes or threads or modifying colors.
