Do you already know the latest features of the 3D CAD models download portal PARTcommunity?

CADENAS GmbH has provided users of the 3D CAD models download portal PARTcommunity with a number of new functions that lead more quickly to the needed standard and purchased parts. At www.partcommunity.com engineers can find manufacturer-certified 3D CAD components to download from over 400 catalogs.

With the function „Filter & Search Assistant“, the 3D CAD models download portal PARTcommunity gives engineers the possibility to attain suitable 3D engineering data more quickly and targeted. Frequently searched for standard and purchased parts can be found in an uncomplicated and effective way by means of the filter assistant. This assistant is being continuously expanded. Engineers currently have the possibility to include the pitch circle and inner diameter of a component in their search.

During the search for a suitable CAD model, engineers automatically receive a suggested selection of geometrically similar parts. In order to better assess manufacturer components, they appear in a new window after being clicked on. The CAD model can then be moved and viewed from all sides with the cursor.

The 3D CAD models download portal has a preferred catalogs function. Users have the opportunity here to get involved and provide feedback about which catalogs they wish for on the portal. CADENAS is happy to accept the tips and will get in touch with the manufacturers in order to expand the PARTcommunity and to offer users the widest possible selection of manufacturer catalogs.

With the preferred catalogs function, various categories are available to the users from which a catalog can be selected. Manufacturers and components can be searched for quite specifically via keywords. A list of potential manufacturers then appears which were previously not found on the 3D CAD models download portal. After selecting and entering in the contact form, the users are then informed when the catalog is available at PARTcommunity.

When selecting suitable engineering data, users can display the subsidiaries and the manufacturer representatives to make faster direct contact. Clicking the country on the map causes the corresponding address to appear. The country of the subsidiary in the address area can be changed via the drop down menu.

An outlook of the new functions of the upcoming Version 7.0 will be given by Stefan Waldner, the leader for the area of web and further development of PARTcommunity at this year’s Industry-Forum on the 15th and 16th of March in the WWK Arena in Augsburg, Germany.
