Confirmed success in 2014 for the online distribution of CAD files

TraceParts launched the TracePartsOnline.net website in 2001, giving millions of designers a gateway to a wealth of technical data on industrial parts and the possibility of freely downloading the CAD models chosen for their design projects.

With downloads up more than 20% in 2014, TracePartsOnline.net delivered over 50 million CAD models. This increase also confirms the growing appetite among design and engineering firms for downloading parts' CAD files.

TraceParts already highlighted this trend during the second quarter of 2014 which reflects how the global race for innovation equates to shorter design times and development cycles for new products.

Whether electronics, mechanics or electrical equipment, several industrial vendors and manufacturers have already implemented online CAD file delivery solutions from their website using TraceParts' technology and experience. Most of these companies have already elected to disseminate their technical data and 3D files over TracePartsOnline.net in a bid to put their products clearly on the radar and generate lists of new highly-qualified prospects.

In 2014, the TraceParts engineering platform attracted over four million unique visitors, peaking with six million page views in May 2014 alone.

Enriched every day with new industrial parts, TracePartsOnline.net provides design and engineering firms with a choice of over 100 million technical data for downloading in 2D and 3D, which are compatible with all the most popular native CAD applications.

“Our excellent results for 2014 confirm the value and trust that millions of designers around the world have placed in us. In just a few years, our TracePartsOnline.net website has set the gold standard for all design professionals, not just for access to the technical data available, but also for finding new vendors," adds Bertrand Cressent, product manager at TraceParts.
