Autodesk has not yet made available the 2013 KOP, but PTC has uploaded the KOP and Field CAD Models for this year. They should work on Creo, and MAYBE Inventor, but I didn't have any luck opening them on Inventor 2013 or Creo (but I think I installed Creo incorrectly).

You can find all KOP-related items (checklist, CAD links, etc.) on the USFIRST Page.

Good Luck!

That's the problem.

It seems like cad models from autodesk aren't going to come until Monday. A week day.

The models from PTC are done in Creo 2.0. Right now Inventor and Solidworks are unable to convert files made from Creo 2.0, PTC did make the new software available if you want to upgrade. I converted PTCs frisbee to an .ipt it works in Inventor 2012 and 2013.

The model of the Frisbee that I posted earlier is apparently incorrect.

In the rules, section 2.2.11 "The DISCS", it says the discs have a diameter of 10.625" and a height of 1.25". On both AndyMark's website and Wham-O's website, it says they have a diameter of 11" and a height of 1.4"

I'm sure there is correct model of the Frisbee already for Creo and Inventor, but for those of us using SolidWorks, I'll re post an updated CAD file of the Frisbee I modeled after I can get my hands on one to confirm which dimensions are correct.

Any idea which dimensions are correct? It seems that the ones FIRST posted are more accurate, but I want to make sure before I build anything.

EDIT: I've edited Max's frisbee model to correspond with the rules' dimensions of 10.625" dia and 1.25" hight.

Please let me know if this link does not work, or if anything is incorrect with the model.

I think that the diameter of the Step file is incorrect. I measured it in Inventor and got 11.16 for a diameter.

Any chance you could you post this as a STEP file?

Solid works should be ableto open an .ipt

Can we get an STP file of this?

The dimensions in the game manual are incorrect. Corrections were made in the first team update.

Team UPDATE - 2013-01-08
The DISCS are Wham-O part number 53214 (custom colored Red, White, or Blue) and have a nominal diameter of 11 in., a nominal height of 1.4 in., and a weight of 180 ± 5 grams.

Sorry if my first model has created any issues being that it was based off the wrong dimensions. Here's an updated model with the correct 11 in Diameter and 1.4 in height. Once again, the curvature of the Frisbee is approximate. Use at your own discretion. Hope this clears up any confusion.

Here's the .STEP file (right click and 'Save Link As')

Thank you, thank you.
