TraceParts reaches 6 million registered engineers and designers

TraceParts, one of the leading platforms for CAD-content for engineering and industrial design, has just reached the 6 million registered user milestone. This highlights the growing importance of CAD models in the industry’s design and procurement processes.

On September 3rd 2025, TraceParts officially reached 6 million registered users, less than two and a half years after hitting the 5 million mark in April 2023. The growth is accelerating, as it previously took about three and a half years to grow from 4 to 5 million.

A trusted reference in engineering and industrial design 

This continuously growing community brings together engineers and designers from over 1.3 million companies across 195 countries, all seeking CAD models of components to integrate into their projects. With more than 2,100 3D product catalogs, 108 million product references, and millions of monthly visitors, TraceParts remains an essential resource for professionals in search of reliable technical data. 

Founded in France, the company has expanded with offices in Germany, the United States and China, with partners in Italy and Turkey, establishing itself as a global reference in the industrial design field. Its ever-expanding library offers free access to billions of technical files including 2D drawings, 3D models, product datasheets, and configurators, all available in over 60 CAD formats. 

I’m very proud to see the continuous growth in registrations on our website, www.traceparts.com, as well as through the TraceParts Publishing Network and the EasyLink solutions we provide to our customers.
For nearly 25 years, the number of registrations has been growing every single month.
Thanks to our users, more and more customers want to publish their data on our platform to launch new industrial projects more easily and quickly.

The new features and catalogs added daily make me confident that we’ll reach 7 million registered users very soon.

TraceParts continues to expand its digital ecosystem to meet the needs of engineers, designers, and manufacturers worldwide. Crossing the 6 million user threshold once again confirms the platform’s central role in connecting industrial suppliers with the design professionals who rely on their data. 

6 million professionals, one complete analysis

To mark this milestone, TraceParts is releasing a new edition of its report: “6 million engineers and designers on TraceParts.” This document offers a comprehensive analysis of how the platform is used, along with concrete data to better understand how technical content is searched and downloaded. 

It also reveals that: 

• 90% of downloaded components end up being purchased 
• 76% of engineers and designers discover new suppliers through the platform 
• and 92% prefer working with suppliers who publish their CAD data 

By bringing all this data together, the report highlights TraceParts’ role in the industrial design ecosystem: a go-to platform for accelerating engineering projects and connecting with component suppliers.
