Library of Electrical Parts

[nuix]

I thought I would post a site of my Electrical parts I created with AC3D

They are at

www.nuix.ws

under Cad Models

I hope You Enjoy

That's quite a pile of components! Now I just need a robot and some machinery to build actual physical circuits for me. AC3D v5.0 feature request: add "submit to factory" button - get a real-world "copy" of your model with the click of a mouse.

Now that would be quite a button. I actually have used ac3d on top of a cam tool for pcbs and model my products as trial baloons. It works quite good. Our company is actually making a low cost 3d digitizer arm which will interface with AC3D as well as many other 3d packages. So you will at least have a press a button and input a part :)

take care


Sorry for the delay I just got back from vacation.

You know that's not too far fetched. Already there is a ( forget what you call it ) machine that can do that in a type of polymer plastic. It reads a 3d model file and feeds the information to this machine which then uses a laser to trace out the object in a bath of liquid plastic. Wherever the laser hits, it solidifies the plastic
Some R&D companies do that to test out new design ideas. I saw a program about it a long time ago. They created a prototype of a carburetor that they were testing. After it was done, it just raised up out of the plastic in some type of wire basket.

i would settle for a DWIM key. any chance of getting that added to the tool? :D

In reguards to woody's comment, we will be releasing a digital input arm which will be around $120 and interface via a USB. It will hold a value of .01". Hopefully for the graphic artists out there and the game designers that will be enough to get physical models into a work enviroment where it can be modeled. For most people the cost of $4000 for a digital input device is just crazy. That arm is now coming into production and a desktop milling machine is now exiting our testing phase of prototpying.

That kind of stuff just fascinates me. I bet someday we'll be able to build our own computers right from our desktop. Today's fantasies are tomorrow's realities.

Yes, But that is the reality today, what would be the goal is to ease the draw it, build it, use it. right from you desk into a solution.
