Hello !

Anybody have a favourite site to get CAD images of bits and pieces?
Stuff like bolts, screws, nuts, handles, basic equipment? Reid Tools has
some for example.

for 3d stuff in the autodesk inventor format look at cbliss.com

soldworks has a place called 3d contentcentral

The Thomas Register folks have a web site with standard parts from quite a
few manufacturers.

http://cad.thomasnet.com/

McMaster-Carr also has a lot of their fasteners available from download -
look for a CAD symbol on catalog pages and sub-sections.

www.mcmaster.com

Also check out W.M. Berg and Boston Gear for on-line libraries.

Some specialized components and things like bearings and sprockets are
available from the FIRST CAD library at www.firstcadlibrary.com
these are in many different formats for autocad and Autodesk Inventor.
These parts are specific to the FIRST robotics competition kit of parts
but include many common components as well. In particular, the DC
gearhead motors used in FIRST come from standard off the shelf
automobile components such as car window, seat, and van door motors.
