The prompt
Generate a highly detailed, scalable 3D CAD assembly of a high-precision 3D Contact Scanner (CMM) designed for manufacture, exported as a clean B-Rep solid model in STEP format (.step). Detailed Mechanical Specifications: 1. Frame & Base: - Base Plate: Heavy solid aluminum base plate (200mm x 200mm x 12mm) with a grid of M5 threaded mounting holes spaced 20mm apart. - Structural Frame: Rigid frame constructed using standard 2020 T-slot aluminum extrusions forming a stable bed-mill layout. 2. X and Y Motion Axes (100mm x 100mm Working Envelope): - Linear Guides: Dual MGN12H linear rails with matching long slider blocks on both X and Y axes for zero lateral movement. - Drive Mechanism: T8 lead screws (2mm pitch, 8mm lead) driven by standard NEMA 17 stepper motors with flexible aluminum shaft couplers (5mm to 8mm). - Anti-Backlash: Brass anti-backlash spring-loaded nuts mounted on the carriage plates. - Encoder Mounts: Bracket provisions for parallel mounting of linear optical scales along X and Y axes. 3. Z-Axis & Touch Probe Assembly: - Z Carriage: Compact vertical slide unit riding on MGN9 linear rails for minimal friction and mass. - Probe Housing: Cylindrical aluminum probe body with an internal low-stiffness compression spring (preload under 0.1 N). - Probe Tip: Vertical stylus with a 2mm diameter precision ruby ball tip at the lower end. - Contact Sensing: Integrated slot for an optical interrupter / microswitch activated by 0.2mm axial displacement of the stylus. 4. Assembly Features: - All mechanical components (rails, blocks, lead screws, motor mounts, profiles) must have realistic clearances and proper spatial alignment. - Fasteners: Clear mounting holes designed for M3, M4, and M5 socket head cap screws. - Output: Multi-body parametric CAD assembly ready for direct editing and drafting in SolidWorks.
