Excellent results throughout 2019 confirm the trust that designers worldwide place in the TraceParts.com platform and the benefits it holds for them

Millions of engineers and designers have access to the 3D files and technical information published by TraceParts

Saint-Romain, France - February 5, 2020 - TraceParts, an engineering platform with a global reputation, has announced a major increase in traffic and downloads of technical content on their website.


The portal www.traceparts.com allows millions of engineers and designers across the globe to access, free of charge, 3D models, 2D designs and electronic CAD data (footprints, symbols, etc.) for manufacturing components. The technical content is supplied to them by distributors and manufacturers of industrial components who want to promote their product catalogs.

All audience metrics reflect to significant growth in relation to previous years. The platform's cumulative statistics for 2019 are as follows:

3.7 million registered users
77 million page views
120 million part numbers
126 million CAD models downloaded

"We are very proud to see that the number of new registrations is growing rapidly each year. This confirms that the trend is towards product digitalization and it also confirms that our clients, manufacturers and distributors, as well as our users, are finding our services invaluable.

The number of registered TraceParts.com users increased by 8% in relation to the previous year and the trend over the past few months leads me to hope that the numbers for this year will be even better. Indeed, we hope to reach 4 million users shortly. A new record to be beaten!"
announces Bertrand Cressent, Product Manager at TraceParts.

Currently, the TraceParts platform features over 820 catalogs, in other words, 120 more catalogs than in January 2018. The addition of all these new catalogs has enabled TraceParts to set, once more this year, a new record for the number of CAD files provided via the www.traceparts.com platform.

Another key to TraceParts' success is the fact that it is part of a network of partner websites, called TraceParts Publishing Network, which enables it to reach a larger audience of engineers and designers with its clients' technical content. New partners have joined the TraceParts Publishing Network, and this has made the network even bigger. It now boasts 27 million users, up 36% in relation to 2018.

Lastly, due to the attention paid to SEO on a daily basis, in order to obtain the best search engine exposure possible for the catalogs published on the TraceParts platform, the number of sessions from search engines has greatly increased compared to previous years.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task

In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
