CADENAS’ Product Catalogs Integrate Technology from C3D Labs

CADENAS and C3D Labs announced their partnership in technology integration. 

The CADENAS download portals PARTcommunity and BIMcatalogs.net provide engineers, architects and planers millions of 3D CAD & 3D BIM CAD models of electronic product catalogs from component manufacturers. Thanks to the partnership of CADENAS and C3D Labs the download portals supports CAD models in the C3D kernel format developed by C3D Labs, by integrating the C3D Converter data exchange module into CADENAS' web servers. Designers who use C3D-based CAD software can now access models in native format from PARTcommunity and BIMcatalogs.net, and then integrate them in their projects without data loss. 

CADENAS hosts certified product catalogs from over 700 renowned manufacturers. CADENAS' download portals let designers download models and specifications in a variety of exchange and native CAD formats, including now C3D. 

CAD models in the C3D format are now available for downloading from the following CADENAS sites: 

  • Renga available on www.BIMcatalogs.net for the architecture and building industries 
  • KOMPAS-3D available on www.partcommunity.com for mechanical and electrical design 

To import models in C3D format, the user's software has to be able to read .c3d files. At present, KOMPAS-3D v18 mechanical CAD and the Renga series of BIM applications meet the requirement. 
"We are very happy that we can provide the C3D kernel format because many engineers and architects requested it because it is included in CAD software like KOMPAS-3D, says Jürgen Heimbach, CEO of CADENAS GmbH. 
"Thanks to our collaboration with CADENAS, Renga and KOMPAS-3D users can now download 3D models in the C3D format," says Oleg Zykov, CEO of C3D Labs. "This move will encourage other developers who use our C3D Toolkit to implement the C3D file format in their products. Not only can designers now get models in C3D format from CADENAS, but they will be able to exchange data accurately with each other."
