Press releases

The number of downloaded 3D CAD engineering data has been on the increase since the beginning of 2017. There has been a steady number of downloads recorded of over 20 million parts per month. PARTcommunity is pleased to announce an increase over the previous year of nearly 25% of up to 260 million downloaded 3D CAD models in this year.

This year's winning project of the German Standard Parts Award (Deutscher Normteile Award) is an impressive example of how the use of standard parts can contribute to helping and supporting developing countries effectively. The worldwide unique transportable operation microscope from Prechtl Engineering won first place.

Daimler AG has been successfully using Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions from the software manufacturer CADENAS since 2002. Now the design guidelines are available as a PDF document directly in PARTsolutions and links to the engineering data within Strategic Parts Management are possible.

For the fourth time now, pupils and students from technical colleges, universities and other educational facilities had the opportunity to submit their design ideas in order to compete. The winners were announced at the Motek exhibition on 11th October in Stuttgart, Germany.

Since the end of August, customers of Adolf Würth have been able to download, configure and integrate into their design various additional 3D engineering data from the sectors of furniture manufacture and woodworking via the already existing Electronic Product Catalog in 100 native formats – including numerous common BIM formats.

In order that landscape architects and planners can include the innovative Grasscalm solutions in their plans right away, they can download the 3D BIM CAD models of their products directly from the 3D CAD download portal BIMcatalogs.net by CADENAS and integrate into their plans.

The secret has been revealed: The WARR Hyperloop Team has now officially introduced its second Pod. With this Hyperloop capsule and CADENAS as a sponsor for the area of parts management, the team of students from the TU Munich will participate in the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition II in Los Angeles in August.

In July, CADENAS is publishing Version 11 of their Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions with advanced search functions and optimized user interface.

The downloading of 3D CAD engineering data is easier and more comfortable with the new PARTcommunity 7.

Which information from the various sectors do customers actually need for their designs or product choice? Thanks to the new cooperation between CADENAS and coBuilder, the needs of the architectural sector can be met even better.
