Megatech Software GmbH and CADENAS GmbH expand their close partnership of more than 20 years. Millions of 3D CAD models and the corresponding standards of more than 700 manufacturer catalogs of the Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions are now directly available in the CAD software solutions MegaCAD Metal and Mechanical Engineering.

Thanks to the seamless integration of PARTS4CAD Professional, users can find the desired CAD components within the component library directly in the MegaCAD software and configure them according to their needs, the companies report. Inserting the digital, manufacturer-verified engineering data into engineering designs takes just a few clicks—without intermediate storage or system changes.

Engineering Data Boosts Product Development Processes

The direct integration of intelligent engineering data into Megatech's software solutions is an added value for engineers and planners and accelerates product development, the companies report.

"Our long-standing, close partnership with Megatech is further intensified by the PARTS4CAD Professional integration. Both companies have the shared interest of effectively supporting designers and planners in their day-to-day work. We can fulfill this goal even better by cleverly combining innovative solutions," says Jürgen Heimbach, CEO of CADENAS GmbH.

The large selection of manufacturer catalogs powered by CADENAS offers components for many applications, industries and systems. This now also includes MegaCAD Mechanical Engineering, which is mainly used by designers and medium-sized companies for (specialized) mechanical engineering, while MegaCAD Metal is used for the planning of canopies, industrial staircases, projecting balconies or doors and gates in steel, aluminum and stainless steel.

"The seamless integration of all common standard parts and manufacturer standard parts from PARTS4CAD in MegaCAD saves users the time-consuming search via other channels. Thus, the cooperation with CADENAS and the possibility to conveniently edit all inserted parts brings us another step closer to our goal of making CAD as easy as possible," says Volker H. Rüger, product manager, Megatech Software GmbH.
