Synergy between two innovation leaders
An interface in the latest Version 4.10 makes it possible to access the 3D CAD model library from 3Dfindit directly within Visual Components and integrate the required parts directly into the simulation process.
Mikko Urho, CEO of Visual Components, commented: "Our motto at Visual Components has been to make simulation and offline programming fast and easy to use. The integration of 3Dfindit into Visual Components offers our users the ability to import manufacturer-verified CAD components directly into our software. This enables our users to build their layouts even faster!"
Visual Components, founded in 1999 in Espoo, Finland, is a pioneer in the field of 3D simulation for factory planning. The company offers a user-friendly platform that combines visualization, 3D simulation, robot programming and the simulation of material flow and resources in one integrated solution.
CADENAS, based in Augsburg, Germany, has been a leader in software development for electronic product catalogs and parts management since 1992. Their innovative platform, 3Dfindit, serves as a visual search engine for 3D CAD and BIM models. By searching billions of models from thousands of manufacturer catalogs, it helps engineers quickly find and integrate high-quality components into their projects.
Expanded service offering for customers
This partnership enables Visual Components users to access CADENAS' extensive library, complementing the existing library of over 60 robot manufacturers. This collaboration marks a significant step toward accelerating the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, enabling companies of all sizes to more efficiently plan, optimize, and execute their production processes.
Jürgen Heimbach, CEO CADENAS GmbH: „Our collaboration with Visual Components underlines our commitment to developing innovative solutions for the industry. We look forward to setting new standards in digital factory planning together.“
Presentation at the Partner Days
As part of the new partnership, Jürgen Heimbach, CEO of CADENAS GmbH, gave a presentation on “Speed up the planning process with Digital Twins from 3Dfindit” at the Visual Components' Partner Days.
Earlier this year, Visual Components' CEO, Mikko Urho, visited CADENAS headquarters in Augsburg, Germany, to finalize the partnership, further solidifying the companies' shared vision for the future of digital factory planning.
Outlook for future developments
The partnership between Visual Components and CADENAS combines the strengths of both companies: Visual Components' expertise in manufacturing simulation and robot programming with CADENAS' extensive CAD model library and advanced search technologies.
