Existing documents? Linear Actuator, scissor lifts

david_russell785

I'm just learning, and taking it one step at a time, but the project I'm working on will eventually have about 25 assemblies.  I don't want to build any more of them than I have to, so does anyone have (or can recommend) sources for all the little things that should be designed somewhere already -- linear actuators, solenoids, wheels, scissor lifts, door hinges, limit switches -- anything that's already set up for mating and simple simulation like the jaws on the beginner vice project? This is part of a startup company project (yes, I got the right license) so if anyone wants to collaborate and build some sweat equity until we're funded, ping me back.

Hello David, Welcome. On Oshapes opening page under Create, select Public from the list below. At the top of the page type your keyword(s) in the search window. You can also try Grab Cad. McMaster-Carr is also a good source since much of what is available for purchase there has a cad file available for download. - Scotty

Thank you. I hadn't thought of McMaster, although I get parts there often.
