3d model of Darwin?
October 07, 2009 01:34PM
There's got to be a 3D of an assembled Darwin somewhere online. I found this (http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,10237 ) thread, but the model linked at the end of the discussion isn't complete (loaded into Rhino, only about half the parts seem to appear). The .stl part files on sourceforge don't appear to have positional data embedded in them, either.

Does anyone have a complete and up to date model?

Cheers,
Liav.

Have a look here - it's a bit non obvious, but under the Objects listing, there is a Cartesian Bot 1.06 zip file - in there are some .step files, including one that has the entire assembly.

[sourceforge.net]

Not sure if Rhino can deal with Step files, but I've loaded it successfully using the free versions of CoCreate and Alibre. The parts count prevents you from saving changes with the free versions though.

Ed designed them with Solid Edge I believe; I think the original Solid Edge files are in there too.

Not only does Rhino open it, but STEP seems to be NURBS based, so Rhino can edit that geometry natively.

Very nice.

Cheers,

Its an eDrawings file so you can maneuver around the model easily
