Pinewood Derby Car

[ryan_34]

I am new to ShopBot and was hoping some one has a file I can download for a Pinewood Derby Car. I only have the software that came with the ShopBot, Partworks and Partworks 3D. Is it even possible to cut out a car with this software?

Ryan - I designed this car. I haven't tried cutting it out yet though, but plan to in the next couple of weeks. Let me know if you like it and I will send you an STL file

Ryan,

All you need is a 3d model. There was one posted in , this thread (http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/messages/2/17865.html?1172147703). But there are tons of other car models on the web. Check the Resources page (http://www.shopbottools.com/resourcelist.htm) for links to 3d depositories.

Finding a sutable model to fit within the regulation block will probably be your biggest hurdle. You can always create, edit or "squash" a 3d model to fit.

Once you have that, use Partworks 3D to create toolpaths for it. The forums at Vectric (http://www.vectric.com) will also help you understand the details of the Partworks program.

And don't forget about the New ShopBot Wiki (http://shopbotwiki.pbwiki.com). We'll looking forward to seeing your car there. :-)
