CAD product catalogs have become essential tools for engineers and architects to optimize their workflows. In this article, we explore how these digital collections simplify the design process and save time. Discover why they have become an indispensable resource across various industries.
Brief Overview: What Is CAD?
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) refers to computer-assisted support in the design and manufacturing of products. In its narrow definition, CAD includes the creation and modification of geometric models on a computer. More broadly, the term encompasses all.
Weiter gefasst umfasst der Begriff alle computer-aided tasks in the design process, including modeling, calculation, simulation, and information provision – from concept development to production.

A CAD product catalog is a digital collection of CAD models and data, created by manufacturers or suppliers to assist engineers and architects in the field of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) with product design and project planning. The CAD product catalog contains 3D models of products used in CAD software to integrate them into technical drawings and design projects.
A CAD product catalog can cover a wide range of products, from building materials and electronic components to machinery and equipment. The models are available in various CAD file formats such as DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, ensuring interoperability with different CAD software applications.
Engineers and designers use CAD product catalogs to save time and effort, as they do not need to model every product or component manually. Instead, they can access the pre-made CAD models from the catalog and integrate them into their own design drawings and models. The use of CAD product catalogs is common in numerous industries such as construction, automotive, electronics, and many others where CAD plays a crucial role in product development and design.
