Request individual components with “CAD Model on Demand”

Customers of ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit (formerly PARTsolutions) have a new way to easily access components that are not yet modeled on 3Dfindit in public manufacturer catalogs. The “CAD Model on Demand” service offers an intuitive ticket system that can be used to order the modeling of missing 3D models. The component is then modeled by CADENAS and customers can use it in their internal parts catalog.

Well-trained engineers no longer have to waste their time with the additional creation of standard and purchased part geometries and can concentrate on their core tasks.

The service is available to all ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit customers (formerly PARTsolutions). In a ticket system, a company books a certain contingent via prepaid. It is then available to the team.

If the 3D model of a component is missing, an employee proceeds as follows:

1. He logs into the ticket system
2. On the overview page, he clicks on “New Ticket”.
3. There he fills in all mandatory fields with information about the missing part, such as the supplier part number.
4. He then submits the completed ticket.

This ticket then ends up with the professional CADENAS modelers and is processed one after the other according to the “first in, first out” principle. The employees complete missing information or request it from the client.

As soon as the component is modeled, the customer receives a notification by e-mail. If there is no remote access to his ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit environment, he will receive the CIP file (CADENAS Internet Package) for independent catalog updating with the email. Otherwise, the customer can find the newly created standard or purchased part directly in his ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit environment in the internal parts catalog using the ticket number.

Thanks to the existing interfaces, it is stored directly in the customer's PLM or PDM system. The customer can therefore find all ordered parts in one place and already integrated in their system environment.

Another advantage is that many customers will start using this service. The components created are available to both the customer and CADENAS and are shared within the ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit community.

As an ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit customer, take advantage of this new service and get in touch with your contact at CADENAS. We will be happy to explain this and many other advantages that you will enjoy as an ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit customer to all interested parties.
