TraceParts publishes its annual activity report on the use of pneumatic components in design projects

In 2016, industrial design professionals downloaded thousands of CAD files of pneumatic components from the TraceParts Publishing Network.

Saint-Romain, France; January 25, 2017 - TraceParts, a world-leading supplier of 3D digital content, has produced a detailed report about downloads of pneumatic-component CAD models according to product family, country and area of activity.


With an average of almost 60 million CAD models every year to over 16.5 million design professionals, the trend for downloading CAD files shows no signs of weakening among design and engineering firms. Today engineers spend hours scouring the web in search of the 3D CAD models that they need for their designs; however, that time is wisely spent, since being able to find the right component online saves them from having to design parts from scratch!

On the TraceParts CAD platform, design professionals have direct access to the technical specifications and CAD models of millions of product families. As such, in just a few clicks, they can look up, compare and validate the certified components that they need for their industrial projects

That is why so many suppliers and distributors of pneumatic components have implemented 3D marketing strategies with TraceParts, thereby enabling designers who require pneumatic components (such as connectors, cylinders, valves and countless other parts) to validate and incorporate such components directly into their design project in a format that is compatible with their CAD software. By having their components selected during the design phase, pneumatic-component suppliers can keep abreast of the latest projects in progress and provide both their existing and prospective customers with technical and sales support.

The latest design report on pneumatic components from TraceParts provides detailed data about the CAD files downloaded in 2016 according to product family, country and sector of activity. It will give suppliers an insight into where the pneumatic components market will be heading in 2017.

The TraceParts activity report on pneumatic components is available free of charge from the traceparts.com/publish-your-3d-product-catalogs/product-ranges/pneumatics/ page.
