eCATALOG 3Dfindit FAQs

What is eCATALOG 3Dfindit?

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.

Who is eCATALOG 3Dfindit designed for?

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.

Why do component manufacturers need an online configurator with 3D CAD downloads?

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.

Why should a component manufacturer choose eCATALOG 3Dfindit?

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.

We publish your catalog to 3Dfindit, where it is seen by over 9 million engineers each year. With 25 years of experience, CADENAS is trusted by more than 1,000 manufacturers worldwide, including Eaton, Parker, Rockwell, Colson, and IMI Norgren.

How much time and effort will this take on our end?

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.

How long will it take to get a quote for my project?

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.

Can engineers access our configurator from 3Dfindit.com or just our website?

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.

How can I launch and promote my new configurator?

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.

Can we share our configurator or eCATALOG content with distributors?

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.

Can we see who is using the configurator and accessing our information?

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.

Can I connect my configurator to my CRM or marketing automation systems?

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.

My company already has a login for lead capture. Can we integrate that into the configurator?

Yes. While CADENAS offers a turnkey login solution, they can also integrate with your existing login system.

Does eCATALOG 3Dfindit support multiple languages?

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

Where is our product data stored?

Data is stored on secure CADENAS servers, located in Germany and Canada.

Will an eCATALOG expose too much of our IP / product data?

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.

How does GDPR affect my configurator?

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.

How does eCATALOG 3Dfindit future-proof my catalog?

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.

Can you reuse our existing product files to create our eCATALOG content?

Yes. In many cases, CADENAS can work with your existing CAD files, like STEP or Revit, to build your configurator.

We don’t have a lot of engineering data. What do you need from us to get started?

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.

Can’t I do this myself by placing CAD models on my website?

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.

How is the eCATALOG 3Dfindit content placed on our website?

The content is hosted by CADENAS and embedded into your website using an iframe. For advanced setups, it can also be integrated through an API.

What CAD and BIM formats are supported by eCATALOG 3Dfindit?

eCATALOG 3Dfindit supports over 100 native and neutral file formats, including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, Creo, Revit, and more. Engineers get files in the format they already use.

Can I update the catalog after it goes live?

Yes. Your catalog is dynamic, so updates made to the source content automatically apply anywhere the catalog is used: on your website, distributor sites, or platforms like 3Dfindit.com.

Whether you’re adding new products, updating specs, or changing configurations, the CADENAS team helps manage those changes quickly and consistently.

What kind of support is available after launch?

You will have ongoing access to the CADENAS technical team, who can help with updates, analytics, integrations, and any technical questions that come up.
