# FastenerNet - 3D-CAD models of different fasteners for academic purposes

FastenerNet is a dataset containing 900 CAD fasteners, each given as a stl file.<br/>
It was created at the Stuttgart University of Applied Science and it consists of 6 different types of fasteners. <br/>
Each type is represented by 150 objects, making a total of 900 objects.<br/>

Grouping:

id 1-150: blind rivets<br/>
id 151-300: clip nuts<br/>
id 301-450: nuts<br/>
id 451-600: screws<br/>
id 601-750: spread rivets<br/>
id 751-900: fir tree clips<br/>

For experiments with FastenerNet, please consider the following work: <br/>
