It keeps saying that it's downloading. Sorry but I have made two questions for one problem. I don't know how to delete one of them. The download speed depends on your internet connection. Are you saying it is not working at all? I'm sorry you're having problems with the McMaster-Carr experience. Can you forward me the part number you are trying to insert in your design? Also have you tried inserting a simple part, like a washer, to see if it works? Happy to help you trouble shoot this one.
I've tied several partnumbers. Just now I tried to download partnumber A It is a washer but the problem occurs that Fusion is not staying downloading but another error occurs.
I tried several partnumbers by downloadng from the site and import with new design. That works fine. So I have a workaround for downloading files. Thank for that. Stuck on a workflow?

Back to Fusion Category. Back to Topic Listing Previous Next. Filter by Lables. Message 1 of Hello, I'm a new user for Fusion But I like it very much.
Does anyone have an idea??? Message 2 of What file format are you attempting to download? Turn on your sound Message 3 of I'm a new user for Fusion 3d. I like it very much. It's well laid out, informative, comprehensive.. Not all, but many. Easy peasy. Just clickity click. Not all parts on McMaster have 3D models for download. For this example, I'm going to be looking for sprockets.
I've navigated to the part I want, and clicked on the part number. A little box pops up with some information. More importantly, this particular part has the little symbol next to it that denotes a 3D model is available.
I've highlighted it with an arrow in the picture. After you click the product detail icon, this is the page you come to. If you're a user of CAD software that takes any of the files shown, congrats! You can now take those files and use them for modeling or 3d printing.
Me, I'm continuing on to Tinkercad, to edit the part a little and to 3D print. When the upload is completed, open it. You can only export single bodies solid shapes so you have to either delete the ones you don't want, or download them one by one. In the navigator menu click on 'bodies'. In the tree that shows up select the bodies you want, either to delete or download. In the menu that pops up, click refinement as 'high'.
Do not change any of the measurement settings. Head over to Tinkercad. On the right hand side you'll see an option for 'upload file'. Navigate to your STL and upload it, again without changing any size parameters. If you need to, edit the model. For example I might want a different shaft diameter; but since I uploaded this as a solid body I'll have to do a little workaround. First filled the shaft bore that was there, and grouped the two shapes.
Then I made a cylinder of the shaft size I wanted, made it a hole, centered it on the model, and grouped them. In this step you could add multiple STLs if you wanted a complex part, say, where gears were interacting.
The beauty of 3d printing is that you can both make multiple iterations of custom parts, that would normally take a lot of time and money otherwise. I've printed the sprocket on an objet connex The one on the left is the part as ordered from master, the one in the right is my printed part. Kings like motor mounts, pillow blocks, chain tensioners, specialized brackets, pulleys- will all print well on an extrusion printer.
I encourage modification as well! Once you're 3d printing you can add decorative elements, or even combine parts! For example, you can download the file for a press fit bearing, convert to 'hole' in TinkerCad, and subtract if from a base to make a perfect press fit. You can use that to create perfect recesses for bolts and fasteners, as well. There are some more in depth techniques I'll post about in later instructables, but for now, go out and grab some parts!
As a product designer I often do this since I need to see how a part will work in a design. Anyone else know we're on the site, sdp-si. The cad files they give you are incomplete - they show enough information to be useful in design but insufficient to be directly used for 3D printing.
I think this originated as a way to reduce transmitted file sizes but it works to avoid 3D plagiarism too. Since the models generally come into the CAD program as an "import feature" there is no history for recreating the missing features The work involved in converting it to a full model would be at least as much as creating one from scratch.
Seems like a wonderful way to pull files into cad apps permitting you quick solutions to use elements from existing designs a new item. You want to use a specific tapered thread configuration to incorporate into a design of a new item, compatible with an existing product line You need a project case, but nothing is size or mount post compatible This could greatly speed up design and prototype work.
This is an excellent idea for prototyping before purchasing parts, or doing one-offs for my own projects. Regarding the legality issues: with the standard IANAL disclaimer If I print out a copy of a part from a cad file for my own non-commercial use, who cares?
I could just as easily use the cad files to machine a part out of metal if I was so inclined. I have built furniture for myself based on designs I've seen online. Once I start to distribute, including online postings of images, then it gets complicated. Copyright is exclusive rights to use and distribution. Under this idea, we need to distinguish two separate items: the rights regarding the gear itself, and the rights regarding the drawings and models of the gear.
If I were to take the cad drawing of the gear, or the model file of the gear, and incorporate it into a larger piece, such as incorporating the gear into a larger 3d model of something steampunk, then I believe one could argue fair use for redistribution, since I am not directly affecting McMaster Carr's use and distribution of the file, their TOU not withstanding regarding derivative works. Where it gets fuzzy is in the intersection: What if I use their 3d model to print out a bunch of gears and distribute those, while never distributing the file itself?
My gut and common sense says yes, but I truly don't know. Contra-ir-regardless, I'd ask a lawyer before using the files before any sort of distribution. Someone got paid to make these drawings, so it'd be bad to ignore that. Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. I think regarding your "fuzzy" question it's pretty clear cut I think. As copyright covers derivative works, regardless of medium i. If you think about it that's pretty much how Chinese knockoffs work.
Copyright covers artistic works, not useful things, useful things are covered by patent or registered design. Copyright is used to protect not just artistic works, but anything 'intangible'. The code I right at work is copyrighted, and the 2d and 3d representations of the gear are copyrightable, as far as I understand it.
I recommend reading the link I posted. It is based on UK law, but under the Berne convention other country laws tend to be similar. This provides that the copyright in a design document is not infringed by making an article from it.
