eCATALOG 3Dfindit FAQs
eCATALOG 3Dfindit is a digital product catalog platform for manufacturers. It enables engineers and designers configure your components, download native CAD and BIM files, and spec your products into their designs, all from your website or platforms they already use. It is built by CADENAS and designed to help you generate qualified leads and grow sales.
It is built for manufacturers whose products are designed into larger projects. That includes mechanical components, electrical products, electronic parts, architectural products, fixtures, and furnishings. If engineers or designers need your product in a CAD or BIM format, eCATALOG 3Dfindit helps you deliver it quickly and accurately.
It’s how engineers and designers work today. They expect to configure components and download CAD files without waiting on emails or phone calls. An online configurator puts your products in front of the right people at the right time while they are designing. It cuts friction, builds trust, and helps turn product interest into real orders.
eCATALOG 3Dfindit includes a team with decades of experience and delivering the content engineers need: real-time configuration, native CAD and BIM files, and accurate product data, all accessible from your website.
You also get best-in-class features like interactive 3D previews with dimensions, digital twins with kinematics, and compatibility with over 100 CAD and BIM formats. Your content stays future-proof and always up to date without extra work from your team.

Not much. The CADENAS team handles most of the heavy lifting. Your main task is to provide product data and review the results before launch. From there, we take care of the rest.
You can expect a custom quote about a week from when the team receives your reference data. This time depends on the volume and complexity of your products. The CADENAS team uses this time to review your specific products to give you an accurate estimate.
Engineers can access your catalog both from your website and directly on 3Dfindit.com, where millions of users search for CAD and BIM data. This increases your product visibility across a larger network.
A marketing launch package is included with your catalog. The CADENAS team will walk you through best practices and provide tools to help you promote the content on your website, in email campaigns, and on social channels.
Yes. Many manufacturers expand their reach by sharing their catalog with distributors and other partners. It helps keep product data consistent and makes it easier for engineers to access your components wherever they search.
Yes. You get full access to user data and download activity through an analytics dashboard. You can export reports or connect the data to your CRM or marketing tools.
Track downloads by company, region, or product, and get daily, weekly, or monthly reports to support lead follow-up and marketing attribution.
Yes. The CADENAS Data Connector works with platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Dynamics 365. It pulls download activity from your 3Dfindit dashboard straight into your CRM, so your sales and marketing teams can follow up with qualified leads right away.

Yes. eCATALOG 3Dfindit supports over 30 languages, including English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Czech, Japanese, Chinese, and Hindi.

No. With eCATALOG 3Dfindit, you are sharing a simplified “sales” model. It includes the information engineers need to spec your product without revealing sensitive design details or proprietary data.
When someone downloads a 3D model from your catalog, they fill out a GDPR-compliant lead form. That means you get qualified lead data while staying aligned with privacy regulations.
Once your catalog is built, eCATALOG 3Dfindit keeps it up to date across browsers, devices, and CAD platforms. You do not have to manage file updates or compatibility. It is handled for you.
Yes. In many cases, CADENAS can work with your existing CAD files, like STEP or Revit, to build your configurator.
Part numbers and outer geometry are the main pieces needed. Catalog pages, PDF datasheets, or other reference materials are also useful. The CADENAS team uses that info to build accurate, lightweight models with just the right amount of detail.
You can, but there’s more to consider than just uploading files. Static models often come in limited formats, don’t offer 3D previews, and lack built-in lead capture. You also have to handle hosting, updates, and file maintenance yourself.
More importantly, sharing full design files can expose sensitive IP. With eCATALOG 3Dfindit, you’re sharing a simplified sales model, accurate for design use, but stripped of proprietary details.
It’s a complete system that protects your data, delivers a better experience for engineers, and helps turn downloads into real leads.
