NASA is sharing some of their low res 3d models. Some are better than others, but they do have a model of one of those $10,000 wrenches. There are about 90 models available in three main formats, 3DS, FBX, and OBJ. They have been around for few years now, I remember using them for a planetarium project we were working on. I just came across them again and figured I would share. -- Cornell

These models are for anybody that uses a 3D software package. Most of the models are in the common .3ds format, which can be read by most 3D programs. Some models, however, are in their original .lwo, .fbx, or .obj formats to preserve details that would be lost in conversion.
