CGI Launches 3D Product Catalog Powered by TraceParts
CGI, Inc. is now using the TraceParts Internet service to provide a 3D online product catalog for engineers and designers. CGI’s customers will be able to select the right product for their needs and then download 3D CAD models of the products into their designs.
CGI designs and builds high quality gearheads for AC induction motors, permanent magnet DC motors, stepmotors and servomotors. CGI can supply complete motion control packages, consisting of encoders, gearmotors, and motion controllers, to meet a customer’s specific application requirements. From the simple to the complex, CGI can supply off-the-shelf products or provide a custom-fit solution.
“Our customers were asking for 3D models of our products to include in their designs”, says Jerry Allred, CGI director of sales and marketing. “The catch was they wanted the models delivered in a wide variety of CAD system formats. TraceParts allows us to satisfy those needs.”
“CGI has been providing precision motion control solutions to a wide variety of industries for over 40 years,” said Bob Noftle, president of TraceParts, Inc. “They have accomplished an excellent record for on-time deliveries, rush/emergency production, and customer satisfaction that is known throughout the industry. TraceParts helps CGI strengthen relationships with its customers by saving them time and helping them to make better design decisions faster than with paper-based catalogs.”
