Search by Shape for CAD

Design engineers often lack browse and search capabilities and so finding a part within a large component library is complex and time consuming, especially when the name or part number is unknown. Finding and reusing existing parts can be extremely difficult.

ShapeSpace’s unique 3D shape search technology provides engineering companies with a comprehensive 3D CAD search tool. This enables design engineers to browse and search for CAD parts, regardless of whether the name or part number is known. It also does not depend on the part having been correctly classified. Users can search for parts by size or text attribute as well as by shape. The software is easy to use and intuitive.

ShapeSpace allows engineers to quickly locate files with unknown names and encourages part reuse. A designer can perform a quick and simple search before creating a new part to discover whether a suitable alternative already exists. This not only saves the engineers’ time in creating a new unnecessary part, but also costs for the company in design, procurement and inspection of new parts.

This search software has been implemented by a number of engineering companies who use it regularly and can attest to its cost saving benefits.
