Any good places to find solids of Dewalt drill parts.

[Tstover]

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had any good places to get solids of Dewalt drills. I'm working on a custom case and I'm trying to save some time and money by not having to buy and model them myself.
The Kit is DCK955X for reference.
Thanks for your time
Thomas

Dunno. Where does one go to solicit access to another's sensitive and confidential intellectual property?

The internet, Tick...the internet.

Oh. You mean that internet. My mistake.

The interwebz didn't produce, that's why i'm asking in a forum.
The old saying of if you can't advance the conversation, you're not obligated to talk.
I work for a fairly large company and we are usually able to get solids from manufacturers through our various partnerships but it takes time that I don't have right now. After I create the parts I would have a library that's none proprietary. I was hoping to find someone in my situation but a week or so from now.
So I guess this is a dead thread.

Tick, Eltron ... He's building a case so only needs the outside form. He's not reverse engineering the drill.

I assume you've tried;

Do you have access to a FaroArm or other 3D scanning device?

Thanks Corey,
Those were some of the first websites I've tried. I was only able to come up with 3 of the 17 parts needed. No access to any scanning. We are just going to order the parts now.
Thanks
for your help.

Try contacting Dewalt or B&D.

If those are solidworks drill bit files as opposed to parasolids, you should be able to insert a design table with the usual variables* and create the whole family.
Then you could upload that part and be a hero for the day.
