International Gas Springs reckons that adding CAD downloads to its website has added 25-30% new business in less than a year.
CAD downloads promote hydraulic products
Responding to customer requests for CAD models of its products, Tompkins Industries decided to offer 3D CAD models for download from its website.
Employing a combination of material and geometry, Atlas casters are tough, lightweight, corrosion resistant, and shock absorbent.
They are well suited for capital equipment in many industries, with particular application in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
Responding to customer requests for CAD models of its products, Atlas Casters implemented its own CAD model distribution system but quickly ran into problems.
"Catalog Data Solutions provided us with a simple, reliable platform for unlimited part numbers, multiple CAD formats, and an enhanced user experience" said Mark Sorensen, General Manager, Atlas Casters.
"In less than three weeks from project start to go live CDS overcame our problems and we are confident we will see a solid return on investment".
"We are delighted to have been selected by Atlas Casters for our leading online CAD model download solution, lead tracking system and affordable CAD services", said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions.
"Online 3D models are an important sales and marketing tool for all industrial suppliers and distributors".
"With many customers moving from 2D to 3D CAD systems providing online 3D CAD model downloads often 'locks' products into a design so suppliers later benefit from the sales success of that design".
"Suppliers without 3D models on their website are at risk of losing customers to their competition who do offer 3D models".
"Studies show that over 90% of designers and engineers now use the internet to locate components for their new designs".
