TraceParts and SnapEDA Partner to Offer Unified UX to Source Free PCB Footprints, Schematic Symbols & 3D MCAD Models

Electronics engineers can seamlessly download millions of design resources directly from TraceParts.com and SnapEDA.com

Saint-Romain, France and San Francisco, USA – (January 12th, 2021) – Today TraceParts, one of the world’s leading providers of 3D digital content for engineering, and SnapEDA, the creators of the first search engine for electronics design, are announcing a strategic content syndication partnership. The new partnership helps electronics engineers and designers source PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D CAD models at their fingertips, for millions of electronic components.

Engineering files can be downloaded from TraceParts.com or SnapEDA.com, and then imported to hundreds of ECAD & MCAD tools. This instant and unified access to millions of free design resources helps engineers and designers to save time while designing printed circuit boards, and also drastically reduce the risk of errors.

Through this partnership, global electronic component manufacturers – such as Samtec, Nicomatic and TE Connectivity – will also benefit, by expanding their market reach to new customers, while providing a completely streamlined MCAD & ECAD experience. They’ll be able to provide their mechanical and electronics engineering customers with native product geometry as well as rich product attributes directly embedded within the CAD models, forming a “Digital Thread” that ensures quick specification and purchase.

PCB and MCAD design software applications supported include Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, Eagle, Altium, Mentor PADS, KiCad, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, CREO, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Solid Edge and many more.
