Hey,
I am looking for a CAD library of screws of different types for our team's modeling, in order to save time on modeling every screw. Does anyone here uses something like this or know how to find one?
Thanks in advance.

To elaborate in case you've never used it before, just select the fastener you want, click "CAD" and then you will get a 2D drawing and the option to download a 3D part file in a number of formats.

During the offseason, download every size screw, washer, and nut into your local CAD library. If you leave the part numbers in the file name or file metadata, it makes it very easy to generate a BOM from the CAD assembly to know exactly what you need to use/buy.
