Online configurators give website the wow factor
Emerson Power Transmission has extended adoption of CDS Configurators for online configuring and 3D CAD model delivery of its Browning Series 7000 gearmotors and reducers.
CAD model downloads prove popular
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.
"We wanted an 'expert system' that integrates deep knowledge of the product and makes an advanced user experience readily available, online 24X7, to the designer".
"The objective is to save the designer time in selecting the right product and by directly downloading the CAD model into their CAD design so they don't have to draw it", said Craig Patterson, Engineering IT manager, Asco Valve.
"We chose CDS for rapid delivery, price competitiveness, the 'wow factor' of its visual constraint feedback configurator and its CAD download capability".
"In a complex product, users usually don't know the constraints and they almost certainly don't know the interdependence of those constraints".
"The visual constraint feedback makes you aware of what effects any selection has on future choices", said John Major, CEO of Catalog Data Solutions.
