3D modeling takes a lot of practice, but anyone can learn it. Check out the top 10 free and easy 3D modeling software tools for beginners in 2020. Engineers then preferred AutoCAD, Inventor, and Fusion 360 (the only free professional CAD software package on the list) while Rhino proved to be the second most popular modeling tool for designers. As an interesting note, Rhino did not appear on the list for engineers even though it ranked highly for designers. Oct 17, 2020 So, if you want to use AutoCAD but find yourself hamstrung by a tight budget, then it's worth giving this free 3D modeling software some of your time. Unlike many other products on this list, DesignSpark features direct modeling only, which can be seen as a liberation from the constraints of parametric modeling, since you don't need to.

Here are the files you can download for free. Currently there are three different types of files. First format is the SolidWorks E-drawings. This file format will allow anybody to open the files no matter what software you have installed. E-drawings is the most user friendly format since you don't have to have any special 3-D modeling (CAD) software to look at the files. The second format is the solid model file in *.igs format. You must have some sort of 3-D modeling (CAD) software to open this file format. If you are planning on doing the machining I have, you will need the *.igs file. But if you just want to open the file to look at it, you can download the E-drawing. And the last type of files you can download are the blueprints. I don't make blueprints of the solid models I make. So if you need a dimension while working on your project, you will have to reference the model. Later on, I hope to make available other files dealing with my projects..including sketches, setup sheets, programs, etc. Tim at dumpsterCNC made the 1911 solidmodel *.iges file. Andy at Helix60@neo.rr.com made the VZ58 *.iges file.

My files are free to download, and if you share these files they must remain free!

Solid modeling (or modelling) is a consistent set of principles for mathematical and computer modeling of three-dimensional solids. Solid modeling is distinguished from related areas of geometric modeling and computer graphics by its emphasis on physical fidelity.
Use these free 3D modeling software solutions to quickly turn your design ideas into realistic 3D construction models. Construction professionals are constantly coming up with new ideas for innovative designs, and it's helpful to have software that can quickly turn these ideas into three-dimensional (3D) representations.

SolidWorks E-drawings

The files below are complete solid models of the AR15/M16 and the 1911 firearms. I made the A2 style AR15 model, and Tom tom_eriksson@hotmail.com made the A1 style AR15 as well as the 1911 model. You can download other files Tom has made here. The files below are for visual reference only.

I have spent many hours creating these solidmodel files. If you find these files useful and you want to show your support for my website, you can make a donation. All donations will be directed towards keeping this website going and also towards new projects. After every project I complete, I'll upload the files here. So if you want to show your support for this website and to keep these file FREE, you can send a donation through the PayPal link below.
