Timken, a global manufacturer of bearings and power transmission products, has made its CAD models available on the TraceParts CAD-content platform. By leveraging TraceParts’ expertise and extensive network, Timken gives designers and engineers access to always-up-to-date CAD models for integration into their design projects, the company says.
Timken aims to improve efficiency of machinery and equipment for applications worldwide, the company reports.
Recognizing the increasing demand for CAD models, Timken decided to collaborate with TraceParts, a global CAD-content provider.
This decision was driven by TraceParts’ position as a provider in Europe and Timken’s partnership with ThomasNet in the United States. For eleven years, Timken hosted its own CAD library through ThomasNet, but its presence on TraceParts broadens its reach and increases the chances of potential customers discovering its products.
By providing CAD models of their components, Timken extends its visibility and makes it easy for potential customers to discover their products and incorporate them into their designs. Timken can see who downloaded CAD models and follow up on new business opportunities.
TraceParts’ comprehensive design library is integrated into popular CAD software platforms.
