NIDEC COPAL ELECTRONICS CORP. starts providing 3D CAD models for Switches and Trimmer Potentiometers online to all engineers around the world. With this launch, the Design and R&D engineers are able to access, preview, and download 3D CAD models so that they are able to design and develop products much quicker than before and it brings huge productivity savings. As a result they will be able to make their Electronic or Circuit Design process more efficient. Because 3D CAD models’ formats via this service reached to 68 different kinds, it can cover most of the 3D CAD data requests. It is available at NIDEC COPAL ELECTRONICS’ web site and the major 3D CAD community sites such as “web2cad” (320,000 users registered) and “b2b.PARTcommunity”. We estimates that the penetration rates of 3D CAD software around the world are 70% in Europe, 45% in US, and 30% in Asia so it is very important that the Electronic Parts Manufacturer provides the engineers the 3D CAD models. By providing 3D CAD models via our web site and the major CAD community sites, we are aiming to support a more efficient product development process, improve customers’ satisfaction, and achieve new customers.
