Precise threaded parts

[rpmaguire]

Hello,

Is there an add-on or a online library where I can download various bolts or nuts that have correct dimensions?
Since I have always been a softimage poly modeler, I know little about CAD ..But I figure there must be these simple models out there ready for import?

I am wanting to add these to various models for 3D printing.

Example* say I have a gear shift model and would like to add the proper female thread at the base. Then I could boolean together and export STL.

Thanks,
-Ryan

I stumbled across this:

Choose the type of bolt/nut (diameter, thread-pitch, length, etc) you want then download the available CAD model from the product detail page.

The 3d formats are:

• EDRW
  IGES
  PDF
  SAT
  Solidworks (*.SLDPRT)
  STEP

Perfect!
That's exactly what I needed.
Thanks ACE.

I was also informed about blender's bolt factory add-on.

Too bad there wasn't an add-on for softimage to create various threaded meshes.

Thanks
