Solid Models of Machines?

[behindpropeller]

Are there any solid models of machines out there?

Specifically a TM2.

Thanks

No.

I have had good luck asking tool makers for models (most recently Renishaw sent me a model for a probe). You might check with your HFO.

Are you needing this for CAM or floor lay-out or...? I needed a table lay-out and it only took a couple of minutes to make one off the drawings on the Haas' website.

Here's the TM1 drawing at Haas.

Gabe - what actual machine models have you gotten? I've tried to get them from my HFO, but they don't give them out.

I think it would be cool if they had a 3d model shell at least. It helps a lot when laying out a shop floor. I ended up using the overall dimensions they post and just modeling it myself. I like the idea of a modeled shop floor (3d) with actual 3d machines. Really gives you a good feel of how the flow will end up.

Yeah. I was just looking for a shell.

I've made some random models for design/layout purposes, but most of the machines were VF's...don't have any for the TM mills....

I hate to resurrect a dead thread but does anyone have VF-6 models floating around? Today I started at the spindle but there is a lot to do.

Depending on how accurate you want your model to be, this might help your process out a little:
