Alibre Joins TraceParts for Online Products Library
 RICHARDSON, TX,
Oct 9, 2007 - Alibre, Inc. and TraceParts, Inc. today announced immediate
availability of a new TraceParts online portal providing the rapidly growing
Alibre customer base direct access to the entire TraceParts parts library.
The TraceParts library is one of the biggest parts libraries in the world,
offering 100+ million 3D CAD models & 2D drawings, including both industry
standard parts as well as products from hundreds of manufacturers.
TraceParts library offers powerful search engines,
product classifications and interactive 3D viewer
The TraceParts library is accessible from within the user interface of
Alibre Design Professional and Expert, and 3D models are available in the
Alibre Design native format allowing them to be directly inserted into
designs without translation. The library can also be accessed directly at
www.tracepartsonline.net/ws/alibre, and couples powerful search
capabilities, 3D dynamic previews and an easy to use interface that enables
users to browse the large parts library to quickly locate and retrieve
parts.
According to Greg Milliken, CEO of Alibre, the new relationship helps
design and manufacturing companies improve their overall design efficiency
by leveraging standard off-the-shelf components, freeing them to spend the
majority of their time on their own design and manufacturing innovations.
“The massive TraceParts library delivers immediate value to our
customers,” said Milliken. “It’s good practice to use off-the-shelf parts
and products whenever possible because it reduces cost and decreases design
time. The wider the selection the better, and the TraceParts library offers
one of the widest selections on the market.”
“We are pleased to be working with Alibre,” said Bob Noftle, President of
TraceParts, Inc. “Alibre’s growing popularity, great price/ performance and
simple user interface are expanding the market by attracting users who have
not previously been able to afford or learn 3D. We believe this large and
under-served market is an exciting marketing opportunity for all the parts
vendors who selected TraceParts as their preferred partner to create and
publish their CAD catalogs. These new users will get a lot of value from our
3D content, and Alibre’s position as the value leader provides us a unique
opportunity to reach them.”
