Geometric 3D Shape Search

The Geometric Similarity Search GEOsearch from PARTsolutions by CADENAS searches and compares parts according to the respective CAD geometries.

Find the needle in the haystack

Beginning with a reference part (catalog part, self-designed part, reused part or factory standard) or the rough sketch of a 3D CAD model you can use the shape search, just like any other search engine, to browse the whole database for CAD components.

The result is a ranking list of the geometrically most similar 3D CAD parts, which are displayed visually.
