Hello
My name is Chiara Montefiori, and I'm studying Design&Engineering at Politecnico di Milano.
I'm using Arduino's components for my final thesis.
To create a 3D model of my project I need the 3d models files of the Arduino components.
Where I can find them?
I'm using:
-Arduino Pro-mini 328 -5V
-Arduino Protosnap
-FTDI basic breakout - 5v
-Modem Bluetooth - BlueSMiRf Gold
-Lilypad 3 axis accelerometer ADXL335
-Lilypad temperature sensor
-Lilypad vibe board
Thank you
Chiara

You may have luck finding 3d models of particular components like the accelerometer but probably not the larger assemblies like the mini.

You'll have some luck looking for them at the Google SketchUp repositories (user-submitted content). The repository is also known as Sketchup 3D Warehouse.

For instance: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=arduino&styp=m&scoring=t&btnG=Search

Once you have Sketchup installed, you can download and use these models and possibly export them to a format known by another 3D package, such as 3D Studio and so on.

For component models I always check out http://www.3dcontentcentral.com

You could get them on google for the Google Sketchup program. Here are some models:
