CADENAS has expanded the global infrastructure of the 3Dfindit engineering platform and the manufacturer portals on PARTcommunity. Through 3Dfindit, engineers, designers, and architects can access millions of CAD and BIM data sets from thousands of manufacturers. PARTcommunity offers manufacturers their own customized environment for publishing their digital product catalogs with CAD and BIM data. With the integration of Cloudflare, CADENAS is investing in the continuous development of both platforms and enabling even faster and more secure delivery of digital product data.
Faster Loading Times and Higher Availability
With the integration of Cloudflare, 3Dfindit and PARTcommunity are expanding their existing infrastructure to include a global network of over 330 data centers in more than 125 countries. Frequently accessed content is cached there and delivered closer to the user; all other requests benefit from optimized routing through the Cloudflare network. This reduces load times and improves global availability.
The median page load time is approximately 1.2 seconds. Users in Europe, Asia, and North America benefit equally from this. The Chinese market is also supported via Cloudflare’s infrastructure and that of its partner, JD Cloud. As a result, CAD and BIM data can be made available and downloaded more quickly in China as well.
Cloudflare complements the existing infrastructure of 3Dfindit and PARTcommunity with additional performance and security features. This means that digital product data can not only be delivered faster but also secured through additional protection mechanisms.
Working together for a more powerful infrastructure: from left to right, Stefan Greiner, Patrick Stahl, Christina Greiner, Manabu Honda, and Ralf Humpfer celebrate the official launch of the partnership between CADENAS and Cloudflare.
