CadParts Submits Application to SolidWorks? to Become a Gold Partner
Integrated software allows users to easily insert and mate fasteners into SolidWorks assemblies verifying form, fit, and function.
American Fork, Utah, December 26, 2004 — CadParts, Inc. today announced that it has formally applied to SolidWorks® to become a Gold Partner.
Earlier this year they announced that they were compatible with SolidWorks® 2005. Its Fastener Library and Insertion Program supports SolidWorks® 98 through
2005 3D mechanical design software. Engineers and designers use CadParts 2005 and SolidWorks to effortlessly display and specify fasteners inside a 3-D assembly
so they can design better products faster and more accurately, speeding time to market.
The CadParts 2005 Fastener Library and Insertion Program allow users to avoid the time required to obtain dimensional data, model, insert, and position fasteners
inside assemblies. SolidWorks 2005 expands on the software’s legacy of ease of use, design power, and affordability by also providing users with comprehensive
tools and new productivity features that will speed the adoption of 3D design around the world.
The CadParts library contains sufficient engineering information to allow the engineer to specify the correct size and material to insure that the product design
will meet the required specification. Each part file contains important information such as recommended torque, clamp load, cross sectional area, and material
properties such as tensile strength and yield strength. During the installation of CadParts 2005, the CadParts Insertion Program is automatically placed inside
SolidWorks 2005 providing a seamless interface. Clicking on the CadParts icon accesses the insertion program. A Property Manager window appears allowing the
user to select the fastener and multiple locations for the fastener. Selecting the OK icon inserts and mates the fastener into the assembly.
The SolidWorks Partner Program features products and services that complement SolidWorks products. Certified Gold Products are fully integrated with SolidWorks and
provide users with instant access to the partner application within the SolidWorks window. Solution Partner products offer a variety of integration methods with
SolidWorks software, including the SolidWorks application programming interface (API) and established industry standard file formats. SolidWorks has more partners
in the mid-range CAD market than any competing technologies, with more than 600 companies worldwide participating in the SolidWorks Partner Program.
“CadParts is very honored to be a Solution Partner with SolidWorks. We regard SolidWorks as the world leader in 3 D design” said David Richins founder of CadParts.
“We look forward to becoming a Gold Partner and providing many different libraries in the future.”
