"Whatchamacallit" for engineers: From the real component to the CAD model without exact designation

Not only children experience that they often don’t know the right designation for something. Also the everyday working life of engineers and purchasers often reminds us of the popular TV show “Whatchamacallit“: You are looking for a blue component, for example, which can be used to lift something and that has two holes with a diameter of 4 mm each.

But how can you get to the right part with this kind of description? For this purpose, the strategic parts management PARTsolutions offers a multitude of very helpful and intuitive software, e.g. the geometric similarity search, the sketch search, the to-pology search and the color search. This way you can accelerate the design process and effectively find standard, supplier and self-designed parts.
