Free Trial Licenses Of TraceParts 3D Library For CATIA V5 To Be Offered During ECF 2004 Technifair in Paris

This first event since recent TraceParts acquisition of web2CAD/PowerParts European business will demonstrate huge productivity benefits in the design process of machinery, tooling, automotive and aerospace industries.

Saint Romain (France) – September 27, 2004 – TraceParts S.A. will be offering 30-day evaluation licenses of its parts library seamlessly integrated to CATIA V5 at the ECF 2004 Conference and TechniFair (booth #49), taking place October 12-14, 2004, at Disneyland Paris, France.

TraceParts was the first Parts Library to join the DASSAULT SYSTEMES’ Software Community Program (SCP) as a Partner in October 2001. Through this development partnership TraceParts is still the only CAA V5 Partner to complement native parts catalogs by delivering to CATIA V5 users more than 25 million parts directly accessible from DS 3d PLM solutions. TraceParts’ commitment to CATIA customers and business partners is also being reinforced through this 4th consecutive participation to the ECF event.

TraceParts leverages the V5 architecture to develop an extensive library of international standard CATIA-native 3D parts. Customers from all industries, and especially Industrial Machinery, Tooling, Automotive and Aerospace will benefit from all the most commonly used components in mechanical design from the largest names of the mechanical industry: ASCO/JOUCOMATIC, BOUTET, CHAMBRELAN, CSR, GENUSTECH, HERVIEU, HP SYSTEMS, INA, LEGRIS, NORELEM, NSK, PARVEX, PAULSTRA, QUIRI, RABOURDIN, SIAM-RINGSPANN, SNR, SUMER, SUPRATEC, TELEMECANIQUE, …

TraceParts completely eliminates the time consuming process of finding and modeling international standard and manufacturers’ components. The time saved in this way allows the designer to spend more time on the more critical stages of the design process.
