Hello
I will look for a site where you could find 3D machine tools (CNC lathes).
Thank you for your answers
Hello, check it out on www.grabcad.com
You will find what you are looking for.
Kind regards.
We have already been to this site, but we can't see the inside of the machine, because we need 3D for the NC Simul software (machining simulation).
Hello
Without a reference it's going to be difficult!
Can't ask your dealer to give you the file you need?
The dealer charges us 4500 euros per machine.
'God!!! 4500...
When I have something to search for like this, I go to Google and I put the reference + "CAD file" or "3D file"
Have you looked on 3D Content Central?
Can you give us the model of your NC?
We are looking for the 3D file for a Nakamura-Tome TW20.
Had you seen this link? Maybe it's a little cheaper...

Have you tried to make a request for 3D live, without going through the reseller?

Indeed, at this price, it may be easier to design the machine yourself!
Or propose a challenge on Lynkoa?
Or take on an intern...
Having the "carcass" of the machine is at the limit possible, but then having the inside I think it's a waste of time.
The manufacturer is not going to give away or sell his livelihood.
In my opinion, you have to redraw the parts yourself or scan them in 3D

Indeed, as Tomalam says, at this price, it may be more interesting to bring in a metrology company to make a 3D scan of the inside of the machine.
If it's just for the clutter it should be enough
Hello
As a student in Mechanical Engineering, I also used NC Simul, and the 3d of the machines we used were made by the students of the IUT.
It seems to me that it is only necessary to have the frame of the machine to have an idea of the interior space as well as the position of the different elements such as the spindle, the turret, the chucks, vices and others, no need for the complete modeling of the machine.
It could be interesting to have a DUT student work on this modeling, for example, it is largely within their reach and in addition it is the internship period at the end of the DUT, to be seen perhaps by getting closer to an IUT mechanical engineering. In two and a half months of internship and can easily do a nice modeling and even tests to check that everything is good.
Have a nice day

Yes, it's mostly the interior that counts, having the tool turret(s), the spindles, the different axes and especially the strokes of the machine, because then we put the 3D of the tool holders and tools, we insert the program into the software and it sees the errors in the program or the interferences and collisions.
