Deficits of 3D STEP / CAD data in the daily routine of an engineer

Everyone who has ever had to use a 3D STEP / CAD file knows the problems involved when importing into the CAD design:

• The STEP import interfaces are often not provided as standard in the CAD systems and must be purchased separately for several thousand euros
• The import process takes several minutes and pushes the PC to its limit
• The result of the import is lacking. STEP files do not include BOM attributes and manufacturer or purchase information

If you believe that the fisherman must use the fish’s favorite bait, then CADENAS has the solution to make your 3D STEP / CAD data more tasty for your customers and prospects.

CAD data that has been enhanced with the CADENAS eCATALOGsolutions technology remain available as traditional STEP files. However, our technology makes it possible to convert these files into 120 different native formats, while at the same time enrich them with BOM and eProcurement information from your PIM system. Thus, customers and prospects can easily download and integrate your CAD data into their designs.

With little effort, you can meet the requirements of engineers and designers, who no longer have to cater to the manufacturer’s method of working. The customer is happy and you will achieve maximum market coverage with the right format.
