Inc announced that their 3D catalog is now available on
Digi-Key’s
website for the majority of their 1000+ stocked line items. CUI is
the first Digi-Key partner to make this service available to Digi-Key
customers. CUI’s VP of Marketing, Jeff Schnabel explained, “We are
very excited to be the first partner to offer free 3D drawings through
Digi-Key. This service has already proved to be a valuable tool
for our direct customer base, and I think engineers visiting Digi-Key.com will
also find this service extremely helpful as their design cycles continue to
shorten.”
Users are able to configure, view, and download 2D and
3D drawings in any of the major mechanical CAD formats for free, eliminating
unnecessary data conversion costs and delays. Available formats

others. The models can be dropped directly into a product’s design
to check compatibility in just a few mouse clicks, enabling the engineer to
specify components quicker and reduce the design
cycle.
