The TraceParts CAD platform now integrated with SimScale's browser-based simulation tool

SimScale, the full-cloud engineering simulation platform, links up with TraceParts to provide its users with access to 100+ million 3D CAD models of supplier certified components

Saint-Romain, France - February 24, 2016 - TraceParts, one of the worlds leading providers of 3D digital content for engineering, and SimScale, an engineering simulation platform aiming[n1] [TB2] to revolutionize the way engineers, designers, scientists, and students design products, have concluded a partnership agreement for publishing CAD data.


Being full-cloud, SimScale offers a hassle-free experience to its users, eliminating traditional installation, licensing fees, dedicated computer hardware and regular updates or upgrades.

The access to TraceParts CAD data enables SimScale users to import 3D models directly into the SimScale browser-based simulation platform to offer a comprehensive set of analysis capabilities, including Fluid Dynamics, Structural Mechanics, and Thermodynamics.

Individuals, small businesses, and large companies worldwide have introduced SimScale into their workflow to virtually test and validate preliminary designs, reducing significantly the number of costly physical prototypes.

When choosing its partner, SimScale turned to TraceParts who has an excellent track record for publishing and offering 3D CAD models for download since 2001. This new partnership will further expand TraceParts growing publishing network of 14.5 million design engineers.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
