Finder introduces its new CAD model catalogue on PARTcommunity

With the use of CAD technologies, or Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD), it’s possible to create a design by replacing manual drawing with an automated process.

The use of CAD software enables optimization of the design process and is much used in the electrical industry. In order to support its customers’ needs, Finder has decided to provide 3D geometries of its products on the PARTCommunity portal. This is in addition to the currently available .stp  files needed for this type of processing.

PARTcommunity is powered by CADENAS, a leading international digital platform for eCatalogue solutions for engineers, designers and technicians. The online portal provides free 2D and 3D CAD models from a large number of global manufacturers.

The use of software of this type assists designers, architects and engineers in simplifying and optimizing the design process relating to their projects, assisting their decision-making throughout the process.

What are the benefits of the service?

• Significant time savings throughout the design process
• All CAD models included in the catalogue are certified by Finder
• Free downloads of 2D and 3D CAD models
• Advanced search tools including geometrical similarity, and sketch and picture search

Finder has been manufacturing electrical and electronic components for installation within electrical enclosures or on printed circuit boards (PCBs) for over 65 years. In all this time it has sought to support electrical engineers in the design phase.

With Finder’s multilingual electronic catalogue on the PARTcommunity website, the user can generate customized data sheets based on specific configurations of each individual device in just a few steps.
