In November 2014, the TracePartsOnline.net engineering platform achieved the amazing figure of two million registered users. To celebrate this milestone, TraceParts decided to offer its two millionth registered user the revolutionary Myo™ gesture control armband from Thalmic Labs.
The way the Myo™ armband works is simple. It is worn around the forearm and connects to compatible electronic objects via Bluetooth. After having memorized a series of control gestures, Myo™ picks up electrical impulses from muscles in the forearm and transforms theme into “orders” for the object used, such as a computer or a telephone. This technology allows users to interact with connected devices using simple, intuitive movements.
The lucky winner of this Myo™ armband was David Henderson, a mechanical engineer at NEC Energy Solutions. He became our two millionth registered user when searching through the TraceParts online library for electrical components to integrate in the renewable energy production equipment that his company supplies and deploys around the world. Bob Noftle, the President of TraceParts Inc, went down to NEC Energy Solutions in Westborough (Massachusetts, USA) in order to meet David Henderson and present him with his new Myo™ gesture control armband.
By becoming the two millionth registered user on the platform, David Henderson can now optimize his design productivity by having access to millions of CAD models.
Today, more than 2.1 million CAD users around the world are registered on TracePartsOnline.net and can download free 3D CAD models and other technical data from hundreds of suppliers catalogs.
