E-Z LOK, manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood, has launched an online CAD library to feature its products at https://www.ezlok.com/cad-downloads.
Built by CADENAS PARTsolutions, this catalog is intended to streamline the design and specification process for engineers; maintenance, repair and operations; and OEMs by offering on-demand access to threaded insert CAD models.
Before adding the 3D CAD models to their site, the company says it counted on its customers to create and share CAD files: “We had 2D PDFs that we could make available, but no CAD files," says Kyle Lindsly-Roach, E-Z LOK director of sales and marketing.
The online catalog allows viewers to access product information any time through the E-Z LOK website. Customers can view 3D models and visualize the products as well as download PDF datasheets. Once a product is chosen, buyers can download the CAD file in various native and neutral formats.
CAD files on this product can be downloaded in over 100 file formats from the E-Z LOK website at https://www.ezlok.com/cad-downloads.
