“It’s a complicated hand tool with many functions inside it,” said David Fulbright, founder of Cheetah Tools (Waco, Texas). The start-up company created its early prototypes totally through machining, with components made from metal and plastics. "If the 3D Systems' technology wasn't available, I would have needed a million more dollars and with all the intricate parts, it would not have been possible to complete the riveting tool." - David Fulbright, Cheetah ToolsĬheetah Tool, founded in 2003, hoped to bring high-speed technology to industrial, high-strength blind rivet fastening systems. They used 3D Systems SLS® 3D printing technology to design and build durable, light-weight production parts with the help of a preferred parts service provider. The animal has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising and animation.ģd print ready, 3ds, wrl, obj, max, stl, fbx, dwg and dfx formats are included, the 3ds format is low poly, rest is high poly, hope you like the model and dont forget to leave a review.Cheetah Tool Systems develops and manufactures high-speed blind rivet fastening systems. Cheetahs inhabit a variety of habitats – dry forests, scrub forests and savannahs.īecause of its prowess at hunting, the cheetah was tamed and used to kill game at hunts in the past.
Cheetah cubs face higher mortality than most other mammals, especially in the Serengetiregion. Weaning occurs at six months siblings tend to stay together for some time. Gestation is nearly three months long, resulting in a litter of typically three to five cubs (the number can vary from one to eight). Cheetahs are induced ovulators, breeding throughout the year. The average speed of cheetahs is about 64 km/h (40 mph). Cheetahs can reach speeds of 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts, but this is disputed by more recent measurements. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 m (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death. Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. Females are not territorial they may be solitary or live with their offspring in home ranges. Adult males are sociable despite their territoriality, forming groups called coalitions. Typically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots.Ĭheetahs are active mainly during the day, with hunting their major activity. Though taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion. The cheetah reaches 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb).
Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and long spotted tail. The only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, the cheetah was formally described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775. Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures. By 2016, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild.
The species is IUCN Red Listed as vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. The cheetah (/ˈtʃiːtə/ Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in Southern, North and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran.
