Visual Components partners with CADENAS to deliver millions of vendor-verified CAD models for 3D manufacturing simulation

Seamless access to verified CAD models

At Visual Components, we strive to improve how our users plan, simulate, and optimize manufacturing processes. That’s why we’re happy to announce our partnership with CADENAS, an industry leader in strategic parts management and 3D CAD model libraries. This collaboration, featured in our latest version release, Visual Components 4.10, gives you direct access to vendor-verified components through the CADENAS 3Dfindit add-on.

Our Business Development Director, Mustafa Kamal, highlights the importance of this partnership.

This integration allows access to CADENAS’ comprehensive library of verified CAD components directly from Visual Components. You can now source and incorporate the components you need into your manufacturing simulations faster and with fewer steps than ever before. As our CEO, Mikko Urho, puts it:

“Our motto at Visual Components has always been to make simulation and offline programming fast and easy to use. With the integration of the 3Dfindit eCatalog, our users can now import manufacturer-verified CAD components directly into our software. This enables them to build their layouts even faster!”

Driving digital transformation in manufacturing

With decades of combined experience, Visual Components and CADENAS are well-positioned to drive digital transformation in manufacturing. This partnership combines our strengths in simulation and robot programming with CADENAS’ robust library of verified CAD components, creating a solution that helps companies of all sizes plan, optimize, and execute production processes accurately.

As Jürgen Heimbach, CEO of CADENAS GmbH, explains:

“Our collaboration with Visual Components underlines our commitment to developing innovative solutions for the industry. Together, we aim to set new standards in digital factory planning.”

This partnership was finalized during a visit by our CEO, Mikko Urho (left), to CADENAS headquarters in Augsburg, Germany, where he met with Jürgen Heimbach (right) to solidify this exciting collaboration.

Looking ahead

This partnership with CADENAS represents an exciting milestone in our journey to make manufacturing simulation more efficient and effective. By leveraging CADENAS’ 3Dfindit library, we’re equipping our users with the tools they need to streamline workflows, optimize factory layouts, and plan entirely new processes.
