3Dfindit.com: CADENAS search engine honored with 2020 Design World LEAP award

CADENAS has been awarded a 2020 silver LEAP award for 3Dfindit.com, by Design World Magazine and WTWH Media. 3DfindIT.com was recognized within the software category for its ability to help engineers to search, find, and download components they need for use within their designs.

3DfindIT.com is the 3D search engine for engineers, architects and designers to quickly find, configure, and download manufacturer-certified CAD and BIM models. With eight different ways to search millions of 3D CAD & BIM models, from 2500+ manufacturer catalogs, 3DfindIT.com has transformed how designers source and specify components for their designs. Once the desired component is found, users can configure and download in more than 150 native and neutral CAD and BIM formats, ensuring the model works seamlessly with their specific design application. Since all content is provided directly by the manufacturers, the end-user knows the data is accurate and up-to-date.
