But you can manually add those when needed. FYI Unfortunately though HTD and GT2 are not in the design database as those are proprietary formats and not yet licensed to Autodesk. You plug in what you want the design to do and the software spits out files/designs that work. It also has built in "design accelerator" used for functional design of gear trains, synchronous belts etc. It plays very well with AutoCAD and will export/import a great variety of other file formats. It's a full blown (mid-range) 3D parametric modeler developed specifically for MCAD applications. This is a fairly complicated script to get the hang of, but some may need it. Choose ProCAD 2.5 and replace the GUI with English version found on same page.
ProCAD, script to turn blender into CAD tools. QuantitiesBill, for finding volume of objects. Geom Tool, for doing point and edge projecting to other objects. Blender's main site also has a good deal of resources and links. There are a lot of videos and written tutorials on the net, just takes some searching. These are not needed to make great looking or accurate models, but they can come in handy. Here are a few useful Blender Scripts if anyone decides to take the Blender route. Here are two examples I made with blender: Its not the easiest program to leap right into thoughĪgain after reading the above mentioned. (EDIT) I see there is a 3d repository already. Or some sort of part repository for things like sprockets, head tubes, etc. This could be helpful because its possible to customize blender thanks to open source and scripting. Maybe a list of features that could be useful to the bike customization crew can be reviewed after a trail with the program. And answered thousands of questions on irc, wrote some of the manual, and a few tutorials. I may be a bit biased as I was one of the guys who packaged up blender for osx on a few versions. I also agree that while its not totally geared for cad work its far better than brl-cad or qcad.
OpenGL viewport for looking at components and a full renderer. Good for file sharing.Ĭonstantly upgraded by an active helpful community!
Import Export many file types including those used by cnc shops.Ĭross Platform, windows, mac, unix, linux.pdf linked to by Tyler above I think it could be useful. More for conceptual than actual production but after reading the. Blender certainly has its uses and is what I use.
