VEX V5 EDR Model

[outsidermm]

Where can I find the files for each VEX V5 EDR piece so i can use it to make models of my robot. And which software should I use. I’ve heard that solidworks and fusion 360 would be good for modelling a robot’s design.

Vex EDR V5 parts for Autodesk Fusion 360

Here is a link to a Vex parts library for Fusion 360:https://drive.google.com/file/d/15TzytEyjS0G9ZbriMs1WPwuJPvWFS-8Z/view?usp=sharing Just upload this one file to your project and all the part will be there, without any need to convert them. Note: To get all the parts included in the library I had to create a design that used them all, and then archive that design. So the parts lib will also include a design named “Vex Hardware”. You can delete this design after uploading the lib into your …

The files are for fusion 360, which is free if you are a student of a school.

VEX Inventor Library Release Log

@Unionjackjz and I are proud to announce the release of the VEX CAD Library! This library is based on the hard work done by Jordan from BNS and Sid from 5776A. Currently there is not a dedicated place for us to talk about CAD and how to use CAD to foster rapid iteration. The pandemic has created a situation where many teams have limited access to parts and meetings, so we thought now was a good time to create a community where everyone can learn and discuss with their peers. Over time we’d lik…

software should I use

Most of the commercial CAD software is free for student use. Inventor and Fusion are popular entry-level CAD packages, but the higher-end packages like SolidWorks and OnShape are also available with educational licenses. (SolidWorks, being the most advanced of the available CAD packages, requires you to apply for a sponsorship). Libraries of parts are available for all the CAD packages. Here is a link to some more information, including where to find the licensing and libraries: CAD for VEX Robotics.pdf - Google Drive
