Siemens PLM Portal Streamlines Part SelectionSiemens PLM Portal Streamlines Part Selection

As part of what seems to be a reinvigorated focus on its Solid Edge CAD platform, Siemens PLM Software unveiled the latest in a string of special offers and enhancements -- this time, a Web portal that enables rapid configuration of precisely modeled commercial parts right in the native Solid Edge 3D format.

The new supplier parts catalogue Web portal is being made available thanks to a partnership with CADENAS Gmbh, a provider of parts management software. The portal, which serves up Solid Edge-specific versions of CADENAS' PARTsolutions 3D catalogue, gives engineers access to a library of millions of commercially available components and assemblies that users can purchase and download directly to place into their product designs without the need for additional modeling, looking up part numbers, or trying to figure out supplier product configurations.
