From what I see here I don't think it would have a specific aim or that there would be one. You could upload your own drive drive that perhaps optimizes weight but is really hard to fabricate but somebody else could upload one that has a completely different focus.
I like the idea of membership but I would argue more for using whether somebody is uploading and improving more that I would use reputation (for obvious reasons). While I make a lot of CAD files and have uploaded pictures of them I just don't comment that often and as a result don't have much reputation. I would feel that I would need to start commenting uselessly of Chiefdelphi just so that I could use the CAD system.
I hope you get this going, it sounds really cool.
