The smart tinkerer will swap before designing everything himself

Modelling components is very time-consuming. Therefore, users of the CADENAS exchange platform PARTcloud.net help each other by making their self-modelled 3D manufacturer parts available to other tinkerers, friends or colleagues for their designs free of charge. The exchange platform for manufacturer parts so far comprises over 5000 uploads, shared by the community on the 3D CAD models download portal PARTcommunity.  

As a part of the sharing community PARTcloud.net, users have double the benefit: First, they have a large selection of user-generated CAD models, ready to be downloaded free of charge. Secondly, they can upload their own 3D models quickly and easily and share with other users. It doesn’t matter if the models are used for your own design or for printing with a 3D printer.

The CADENAS exchange platform PARTcloud.net also offers challenges, where members of the community are given various tasks, e.g. to model and upload their own parts. These are then evaluated and the winner receives an Amazon gift certificate. Due to the great interest in the XMAS Challenge at PARTcloud.net last year, 2017 will see such challenges more often.
