ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit is a powerful visual search and data reuse platform that helps engineering teams find, compare, and reuse existing 3D parts. It helps prevent duplicates, streamlines design workflows, and ensures consistency across CAD and PLM systems.

ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit is built for manufacturers, product development teams, and engineering organizations that manage large part libraries across multiple CAD or PLM systems, especially those looking to reduce redundant designs and improve part reuse.

Enterprise 3Dfindit uses advanced geometric and visual recognition to help engineers find existing parts that match or closely resemble new designs. When engineers search before creating or importing a part, the system enables them to discover existing equivalents – helping them reuse what’s already available rather than introducing duplicates.

Additionally, the system runs automated scans nightly across your parts database and provides duplicate detection reports, giving you ongoing visibility into potential duplicates that may exist in your PLM/ERP system.

This two-pronged approach – empowering engineers with search capabilities at the point of design and providing automated duplicate reporting – helps reduce part proliferation and ensures better parts management over time.

Yes. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit can analyze millions of 3D files to find and report duplicates in your current PLM or CAD libraries. It groups similar parts, identifies redundant versions, and generates clear reports to help teams consolidate data and standardize across systems.

Traditional search tools rely on file names, part numbers, or metadata. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit goes further, searching by shape, photo, sketch, or geometry, so it can find similar parts even when names and formats are different. That means faster results, less frustration, and fewer duplicates.

You can search by:

• Uploading an existing 3D model
• Taking or uploading a photo of a part
• Creating a quick sketch
• Searching by text or attribute data
• Or combining all of the above for powerful hybrid results

Yes. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit is CAD-neutral and supports all major systems including Creo, NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, Inventor, and others. It helps teams using different CAD tools share, compare, and reuse designs without creating duplicates.

Yes. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit integrates seamlessly with leading PLM systems like Windchill, Teamcenter, and SAP, and with ERP systems for sourcing and pricing data. It can also connect to homegrown or legacy systems through APIs.

ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit is deployed on-premises, behind your company’s firewall, so all engineering data remains secure and under your control. It can be accessed by a desktop or a web browser application.

Yes. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit is designed for enterprise-scale environments and can efficiently manage and index millions of 3D parts and assemblies, helping you clean up legacy data and prevent duplicate creation moving forward.

No. Engineers and non-CAD users can access and view 3D models directly in their browser. CAD users can also use ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit directly inside their design environment to find and reuse existing parts without leaving their CAD tool.

Yes. Using partial geometry and feature recognition, 3Dfindit can locate compatible or mating parts such as connectors, fasteners, or adapters, ensuring better design compatibility and reuse.

Yes. After the initial indexing, ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit can automatically detect and index new or modified parts on a daily or scheduled basis to keep your library current.

By helping prevent duplicate designs, improving reuse, and reducing redundant data, 3Dfindit cuts engineering time, saves storage costs, and lowers purchasing variance. Customers typically see measurable ROI through faster design cycles, fewer part numbers, and cleaner data migrations.

Yes. 3Dfindit is widely used to analyze and consolidate duplicate parts before migrating to a new PLM or ERP system, saving significant time and cost during the transition.

Yes. User access in ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit can mirror your PLM’s permissions or be customized within the platform to control who can view, download, or reuse parts, maintaining governance while enabling collaboration.

Yes. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit includes access to over 1,000 certified manufacturer catalogs. Engineers can download or generate native CAD models with built-in attribute data mapped directly to your PLM.

Cadenas provides full implementation, training, and ongoing technical support to ensure a smooth rollout. Our experts assist with setup, data indexing, CAD/PLM integration, and continuous user adoption.

Most organizations track improvements such as:

• Reduction in duplicate parts
• Increased part reuse rate
• Faster time-to-design
• Reduced engineering and purchasing costs

ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit provides both the tools and reporting to help quantify these results.
