FACOM Publishes CAD Models on TraceParts Platform
Sees Positive Results for its 2D and 3D Models of Tool and Equipment Solutions
ST. ROMAIN, FRANCE, May 30, 2018 - FACOM has committed to publish some of its product catalogs and CAD models on TraceParts and intends to make the platform a part of its marketing strategy. The company, manufacturer of tool and equipment solutions for automotive and industrial professionals, successfully started to use TraceParts in 2007 and nurtured the development of catalogs in 2017.
Having tried a variety of media over the years, FACOM was especially impressed with the positive results brought from publishing some of their product catalogs and CAD models on the TraceParts platform. But the biggest surprise came in the form of a benefit that wasnt expected. FACOM no longer had to field the many drafter and customer requests the brand get for specs and CAD models in different formats. Instead, they simply direct them to their listing on TraceParts hence a huge time savings.
Parts vendors are able to publish their complete catalogs and CAD models including 3D content onto the TraceParts platform. There drafters and engineers can evaluate their parts and see if they meet the specifications of their design project.
"The CAD models data for our components are published on TraceParts in neutral CAD formats. Using TraceParts technology, they can then be downloaded in 60+ different formats," said Jocelyn Vecchio, Director of Engineering Hardlines and Automotive specialties. "Its super convenient for designers. Plus were able to legally reuse or repurpose the data for our distributors, customers and other publishing platforms."
The TraceParts website has been online for more than 17 years with over 85 million CAD files delivered. In 2017 it had 4.3 million unique visitors, 10.8 million visits, and 77 million page views. It currently has 3.2 million registered users, who are mostly designers and engineers, and is continually adding to its user base.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
