Calling all CAD experts!

I'm trying to model a glove in SolidWorks and finding it rather difficult to approach. Does anyone have/ know where I can download a CAD model of a glove? It would need to be compatible with SolidWorks so I can edit it.

Forget the James Bond approach, just use a sock like everyone else

I don't know where you can get a ready made model from, may be worth trying CADALOG.com

Are you making the model as individual fingers, palm, thumb etc then make an assembly from those? I haven't used Solidworks for a couple of years but it should be reasonably easy to make a loft of the individual fingers, if a little time consuming.

Good luck, I'd be interested to know how you get on.

is usually quite useful but no results are retuned unless you fancy a baseball glove chair

A glove? What are you designing? Michael Jackson? I was hopefully going to help but those types of models are advanced i would have thought.

Depends how realistic/accurate you want this glove.

Quite an odd cad request tbh.

lofting will work, but surfacing might give you a more organic look to it.
good luck!

Indeed,

I modelled a hand back in '96, but I doubt that would be helpful.

They are a pretty helpful bunch

I'm actually just designing a work glove, just would have been nice to have the glove shape to start with. The prototype won't be made from tha CAD anyway, just need a decent rendered image to show it. I've done a very basic glove shape (made as one part file) which will do, I don't really have the patience to do a full surface lofts effort.
