3D Sketch-up models for Newport parts
Thorlabs and Newport have offered 3D models of their products for a long time. However, they’re typically in formats for expensive programs like SolidWorks and AutoCAD. In the past year or two, Newport has been slowly adding to their library of Google SketchUp models.
I still prefer SolidWorks, but I’m optimistic that I’ll eventually switch to SketchUp. Regardless, it’s nice to see a company supporting free tools.
