SOLIDWORKS 3D PARTSTREAM.NET SERVICE HELPS EMHART/ENERPAC.Emhart Teknologies and Enerpac have increased customer loyalty by allowing their customers to quickly and easily find parts that fit into their specific product designs Emhart Teknologies and Enerpac are using SolidWorks Corp.'s 3D PartStream.NET(SM) to make it fast and easy for their customers to "design in" (check compatibility and subsequently purchase) their products through 3D-powered catalogs, SolidWorks announced. 3D PartStream.NET lets customers easily view and download three-dimensional computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive models and 2D drawings of Enerpac's hydraulic products and Emhart's specialty fasteners fasteners In construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. from online catalogs Similar to an online library or databases in the information storage respect, ‘’’online catalogs’’’ allow potential customers to browse a company’s items for sale from a different location using the internet. to see if those parts fit exactly into their product assembly designs. Using 3D PartStream.NET eliminates the cost and time customers have traditionally spent recreating their products "from scratch" while increasing the chance that customers will incorporate their parts into product designs. 3D PartStream.NET helps component manufacturers like Emhart and Enerpac effectively communicate product features and specifications by allowing customers to view products from all angles and configure these models based on their specific requirements. It then lets customers download the model in a wide variety of formats for use in their own design documents, significantly reducing the time-consuming and often error-prone process of buying parts and components from print catalogs. This process allows Emhart and Enerpac to establish a competitive edge while increasing customer productivity and loyalty. Emhart tightens up its customers' product searches Emhart is a division of Black & Decker that manufactures fastening and assembly solutions for global industry. To create its online catalog, the company partnered with i-MARK, a SolidWorks partner that has tightly integrated 3D PartStream.NET into its product configuration and discovery technology. Using this solution, Emhart allows its customers to determine exactly which fasteners fit into their product designs. For example, an auto manufacturer can visit Emhart's Virtual Innovation Center and search through thousands of different products in a matter of minutes A Matter of Minutes is an episode from the television series The New Twilight Zone.

3D PartStream.NET lets those customers preview 3D models of each fastener to determine if it will fit into their final design. It then allows users to download the 3D CAD model directly into their final product design. The previous technology Emhart used to display its parts forced customers to download each design to determine whether it actually fit into their products. With support for all major CAD systems, 3D PartStream.NET ensures that Emhart's customers have access to reliable 3D CAD models and 2D drawings regardless of what CAD application they are using. This means an Emhart customer using a different CAD system from that of Emhart can still ensure that a specific fastener used hundreds of thousands of times when building a 300-seat airplane airplane, aeroplane, or aircraft, heavier-than-air vehicle, mechanically driven and fitted with fixed wings that support it in flight through the dynamic action of the air. actually fits into the plane's design before production begins. "3D PartStream.NET makes it easy for our customers to find the product configuration they need efficiently, without having to redraw To redisplay an image on screen whether text or graphics. The concept is that the first time elements are displayed, they are "drawn," and if something is changed, they are "redrawn." Applications often have a Refresh command that redraws the screen. the design," said Darren Byrne, Emhart's director of e-business. "Because the Big Three auto makers use different CAD systems, we want to make sure we cater to their needs. 3D PartStream.NET allows all of our customers to easily download whatever CAD product design they need for use in whatever CAD program they have. It's this kind of capability that helps us ensure our customers use our fastening systems in their designs." Enerpac updates catalog catalog, descriptive list, on cards or in a book, of the contents of a library. Assurbanipal's library at Nineveh was cataloged on shelves of slate. The first known subject catalog was compiled by Callimachus at the Alexandrian Library in the 3d cent. B.C. designs on the fly Enerpac uses 3D PartStream.NET to market the hydraulic clamps companies use to secure a part they must drill or otherwise machine. Time to market is crucial for its customers, and 3D PartStream.NET's preview capabilities streamline the process of locating the right hydraulic clamps for their manufacturing processes. Unlike Enerpac's previous CAD technology, 3D PartStream.NET lets the company easily manage updates to its product models. With the previous technology, Enerpac had to submit new CAD models and wait weeks for their service provider to post them for use in their Web catalog. Now, Enerpac's staff can update the catalog on the fly. 3D PartStream.NET also provides the reporting capabilities that let Enerpac's staff see what products customers are buying most so the company can build targeted marketing campaigns based on these purchase patterns. "We cater to everyone that cuts metal, including Ford, John Deere, and NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

"These companies do not want to spend a lot of time looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

That's a vital tool when you're talking about supplying parts to some of the biggest companies in the world." 3D PartStream.NET helps manufacturers like Emhart and Enerpac expand their products' reach and simplify the buying process for their customers.

"Companies like Emhart and Enerpac with Fortune 100 customers can't afford to make it difficult for their customers to find and configure the parts they need. 3D PartStream.NET lets component manufacturers like Emhart and Enerpac build fully interactive catalogs, easily manage content, drastically reduce product search time, and ensure customers get the exact part they need in the right configuration and CAD format."
