VMC/Machine models

(OP)
I have a project requiring a sample layout of a factory. Does anyone know where I can obtain 3-d models of any machinery, robots, conveyors, AVG's, etc? They need not be pretty, just size representational.

Thank you.

RE: VMC/Machine models

Try 3dcafe.com they may have some. Also 3dcentral.com

RE: VMC/Machine models

I know parts companies often give out layout models, perhaps you can contact some tool companies to get layout dimensions.  You'll need to know servicing dimensions so that the maintenace of machines is not neglected in the layout phase.

Thank you all for the input. The PlantWorks software seems like the only option here (except for getting the info from the vendors and drawing dummy models myself).

I've submitted a request for info for that software.

Thanks again.

Please post back with any info you find about PlantWorks for future reference.

cheers
