TraceParts and SolidFace team up for online design resource



Digital engineering company, TraceParts, has teamed up with SolidFace to launch the SolidFace portal, a free online design resource for the SolidFace software community.

The online part library is directly available through latter's software interface and has over 100 million part numbers from hundreds of leading component manufacturers and distributors, and thousands of standards including ISO, ANSI, DIN, NF, GB, ASME, says the company.

TraceParts is the first content supplier to provide certified supplier components that can be inserted into designs.

SolidFace 3D CAD software integrates Parasolid/Siemens 3D kernel in the in-house developed parametric sketch module. The software is compatible through Parasolid X_T/X_B files extensions, as they share the same 3D engine.

The modeler has three main modules: drawing, part and assembly. The parameterisation allows feature editing and the sketch functions automatically.
