Daniel Library: PSYC 405: History and Systems (Matthews): Find 3D Models

Where to Find 3D Models

Free 3D models can be found from a number of reputable repositories, including some government agencies such as NASA and the NIH. While some repositories only upload models that have been verified as printable, others do not. For example, anyone can upload anything to Thingiverse and you may find that model cannot be printed. If you have questions, please contact us for a consultation.
