military spec cad models!
(OP)
I am trying to clean up my design library and we mainly use MS series fasteners. I have tried a few websites from which I usually download my fasteners models (also googled no luck). Does any one have any idea on where to download these mil spec fasteners or atleast one website from which I can get specification and I could make my own (google is frustrating because it comes up with all the suppliers and spreadsheets what they have).
Any other info on MS fasteners will also be great (advice and suggestions as I've never dealt with them before).
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

McMaster-Carr is my go-to source for CAD files for most stock parts. Check their website for what you need if you haven't already.

As i realised that if I make a library of ms parts it will come out to be very handy. I did find many websites with tech sheets, the problem is that there are too many of these MS fasteners and I wouldn't know what I need till the design stage as I am in R & D as well as production, hence if I just had the 3d files I can use it in my assembly quickly and check if it works or not.
McMaster-Carr - "To protect product information, we limit search activities on our web site. Your use exceeds typical patterns of our visitors, so we have restricted access." is the message I get. Anyway to get around this?
The problem is that if I want to use a fastener which fits a hole 3.2mm with threads I have to find which MSXXXXX will suit my job through research (there area too many and can never find info easily). I am open for any suggestions or ideas from experts that have used ms.
Thanks

You might find some of what you are looking for already configured through 3D Content Central. If not, fasteners are one of the more easily configured items. Just make a good initial model then load a design table with all the different configurations for size and length. Since you have a bunch of data sheets you have the basic information needed.

I have been using 3d cc so far and some on my own. I will probably put all my collections up for everyone once I have finished collecting the basic ones.
Mcmaster-carr is very good except no config available which means I have to make the design table and other things necessary.

http://www.mcmaster.com/# McMaster-Carr also has lots of downloadable models and some are mil-spec.
