3D CAD models from RAPID are now available on the TraceParts platform
CAD files of sheet metal parts published by RAPID will save precious design time to product developers
Saint-Romain, France - January 4, 2017 - RAPID, one of the largest prototype manufacturers in the United States has launched a free CAD catalog on TraceParts. The parts catalog includes over 200 CAD files of sheet metal parts and features such as U Enclosures, Cutouts, Embossments, Punch Tooling and more.
TraceParts is one of the worlds leading digital media company for engineering. One of the services TraceParts offers is a CAD platform. The platform includes over 100 million parts available for download. RAPID joined TraceParts vendor platform to offer engineers an alternative to creating from scratch standard sheet metal enclosures and tooled features.
To use the service, engineers create a free account on the TraceParts website. The customer then chooses the 3D CAD file they wish to use and then download the file. The process is frictionless.
James Jacobs states, "RAPID is always on a mission to expand our services and better serve our customers. By partnering with TraceParts we are able to offer product developers standard enclosures and common tooled features essential to their product, but not worth the design hours to create the part from scratch."

Featured Product
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.
