SEARCH SMARTER

Geometric search tools
Find any component immediately

Our innovative search modes analyze 3D shape, topology and features to reliably identify existing parts. Even when a search via text or attributes reaches its limits.

In addition to the classic similarity and counterpart search, the system also supports a partial geometry search, which can be used to find partially similar parts. Start the search with 3D models, sketches or photos to find suitable components across your entire component library.

CONNECT EVERYWHERE

Universal Integrations,
Multi-CAD, Multi-PLM Support

ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit works with all major CAD, PLM, and ERP systems. Our universal integration supports multi-CAD and multi-PLM environments simultaneously. No vendor lock-in, no forced migrations. Just seamless connectivity across your existing systems.

ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit FAQs

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 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 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 identify 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

Digital industry standards are official engineering standards delivered in a usable digital format, including certified 3D CAD models, part data, specifications, and searchable attributes. They help engineers find and use standard parts faster without manually recreating them.

Certified 3D standard parts are CAD models that are officially authorized and aligned with published standards from standards development organizations such as SAE, AIA, and ASME. They are built to reflect the correct geometry, metadata, and part configurations defined by the standard.

Digital standards catalogs save engineering time, reduce modeling errors, and improve design consistency. Instead of redrawing commonly used fasteners and hardware, engineers can instantly download ready-to-use certified models and focus on product development.

Digital standards catalogs can include major industry standards such as SAE AS, AIA NAS, and ASME B18.24. Available catalogs may vary, but they are typically focused on widely used aerospace, mechanical, and industrial standard parts.
