E-Z Lok, a leading manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood, has recently launched an online CAD library to showcase a wide selection of its products at https://www.ezlok.com/cad-downloads.
Built by CADENAS PARTsolutions, this catalog will streamline the design and specification process for engineers, MRO and OEMs by giving them on-demand access to threaded insert CAD models.
Prior to adding the 3D CAD models to their site, the company relied on its customers to create and share CAD files. “We had 2D PDFs that we could make available, but no CAD files, said Kyle Lindsly-Roach, E-Z Lok Director of Sales & Marketing. He added that CAD files are very valuable to engineers and that now they can pull the information directly from the website and obtain product specifications early in the design phase.
The online catalog allows viewers to access robust product information anytime, anywhere through the E-Z Lok website. Customers can view 3D models and visualize the products as well as download PDF datasheets for quick information. Once a product is chosen, OEMs and other engineering buyers can download the CAD file in a variety of native and neutral formats.
