E-Z LOK Adds Threaded Insert CAD Models to Online Catalog

E-Z LOK makes creating strong threads easy. Their versatile products can be found in manufacturing and maintenance facilities across all industries; as well as on personal projects such as woodworking, security, and anywhere else thread repair is needed. Their insert design allows customers to repair damaged threads without the use of specialized installation tools. E-Z LOK’s threaded insert product lines include products designed for plastic, wood, and metal.

Prior to adding the threaded insert CAD models to their site, E-Z LOK relied on customers to create and share CAD files. “We had 2D PDFs that we could make available, but no CAD files,” stated the Director of Sales and Marketing at E-Z LOK, Kyle Lindsly-Roach. “CAD files are valuable to our engineering audience,” Lindsly-Roach added. “Now they can pull the information directly and get our products specified early in the design phase.”

The on-demand catalog allows viewers to access robust product information anytime, anywhere through the E-Z LOK website. Customers can view 3D models and visualize the products as well as download a PDF datasheet for quick information. When a product is chosen, OEMs and other engineering buyers can download the CAD files in a wide variety of native and neutral formats.
