Case Study: 5th Axis digitizes workholding product selection with TraceParts 3D Configurator and CAD Catalog

5th Axis streamlines product selection with TraceParts and 70+ CAD formats

5th Axis, a manufacturer of workholding products, teamed up with TraceParts to digitize and streamline the selection of its complex products. Their challenge was to move beyond a basic website plugin and create a central, digital system for customers to configure and validate workholding solutions for their specific machine tools.

The solution implemented by TraceParts was a 3D configurator and CAD catalog built using their platform and Helioz zipCPQ™ services. This allows customers to configure a custom workholding solution in just six clicks and download the validated CAD model in over 70 formats. TraceParts also distributes these products on its vast publishing network. The results include a highly-viewed promotional video, outreach to hundreds of thousands of prospects, and the system becoming the heart of 5th Axis's business operations.
