This new fully integrated app is the first to allow all Onshape users instant access to hundreds of millions of free standard and supplier certified 3D models from directly inside Onshape. Onshape users interested in the beta program are invited to participate at this link: www.onshape.com/app-store-beta. Anyone wanting to experience the Onshape full-cloud CAD system is welcome to create a free Onshape account here.
Once the 3DX Certified Models app is added, users can find products from over 400 leading suppliers by graphically navigating to specific products, using tag based product search, or search across multiple certified catalogs. Once parts are found and selected, the user is provided with a real-time 3D product preview, a summary of the Bill of Materials (BOM) attributes, and with a single pick, the product model is inserted directly into their Onshape document.
"For the first time ever both 3D CAD and a 3D content library live together in a single web browser window." said Jon Hirschtick, Onshape Founder and Chairman,
"Onshape users can choose from hundreds of millions of 3DX Certified Models and bring them directly into Onshape with one click. We are very excited to be working once again with longtime CAD leader Bob Noftle and the TraceParts team."
"A key component of our business model is to support our CAD vendor partners by providing rich geometric content to the users of their software" said Bob Noftle, CEO, TraceParts, Inc., "providing Onshape users with instant access to hundreds of millions of certified supplier product models is a great example of our commitment."
