Useful references for case design

Updated list here: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/useful-references-for-case-design.2721/

Here's a list of useful resources for case design:

CAD

A brief introduction to CAD software

3D files:

https://smallformfactor.net/forum/resources/

https://smallformfactor.net/forum/resources/accurate-blank-motherboard-pcie-card-models.25/ Great starting point

http://scc.jezmckean.com/ Great library of SketchUp computer parts

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/ Lots of SketchUp parts here too but the quality varies quite a bit

https://grabcad.com/ Some good quality models here but they're in CAD formats like STEP/IGES


References:

http://www.formfactors.org/ Official specification documents for various form factors, like mini-ITX motherboards, ATX power supplies, etc.

http://www.protocase.com/resources/ Useful guidelines for designing sheet metal enclosures


Manufacturing:

http://sheetmetal.me/ Terminology, tables, diagrams, and other useful info related to sheet metal fabrication

Great overview of the process of manufacturing a sheet metal enclosure (it's aimed at prototyping though but most of it is similar to production)

Not as technical as the above video but a good overview of the manufacturing process with equipment more typical of small-medium production volumes.

This list is certainly not exhaustive so if you have any suggestions, please leave it in the discussion thread!
