Propellers.

Anonymous

Hey, I am currently working on a Drone project. I am really new to this CAD Stuff, so could anyone help me with finding a 12 inch propeller with a pitch of 6? I have looked it up countless times and all I can come up with are oat propellers. Thanks in advance.

I would look at grabcad.com.  For instance, a quick search showed this model:  drone-propeller-1https://grabcad.com/library/drone-propeller-1.

 

Or, the manufacturer itself may have CAD models on their sites.

 

The important thing, though, is to choose the right file format for models.  Don't use a mesh model (.STL, .OBJ, etc), instead look for a model with a solid type (.STP, .IGES, or Inventor/Solidworks models).  Sites such as thingiverse often just have mesh models, which are not as useful in Fusion without some re-modeling.

I found a 12x6 on GrabCAD as previously suggested.

 

I can't vouch for it's accuracy, but it is 12 inches in diameter.

From the page there you can grab just the APC 12x6 solidworks part file.
