AUGSBURG, Germany, Sep 19, 2014 – For years, the 3D CAD download portal PARTcommunity by CADENAS has been a top address for engineers looking for 3D CAD models of components. Every month, www.partcommunity.com registers over 8 million downloads of CAD models of well known, international manufacturers. PARTcommunity has now been augmented with the new PARTcloud function: With this innovative tool, engineers can also upload 3D CAD models of their self-constructed components and share them with friends and coworkers as well as make them available for download.

With the new PARTcloud function, PARTcommunity completes its range and provides a comprehensive service around everything about 3D CAD models.

Through this, the research platform by CADENAS combines free downloads of millions of 3D CAD models with additional product information like PDF product catalogs, as well as the new PARTcloud function.
