Case Study: igus delivers 3D CAD models worldwide with TraceParts and KiM

igus makes 92,000 3D components available worldwide with TraceParts

igus, a manufacturer of plastic components and systems, faced the challenge of making its vast library of over 92,000 products available to designers as easily configurable 3D CAD models. They needed a solution to virtualize these components for global, 24/7 access in multiple formats without the high internal effort of manual creation and management.

The vendor TraceParts, in partnership with KiM, implemented a solution using the CADClick kernel to publish and distribute igus's product models online and offline. This allowed customers to generate and download user-specific configurations and 3D models instantly. The result was a system reliably serving a huge number of downloads, greatly saving time for both igus and its users, and providing a measurable additional sales multiplier through the TraceParts.com platform.
