公司
TraceParts 成立于 2001 年,是全球领先的工程、工业设备和机器设计的 CAD 内容供应商。该公司拥有来自 130 万家公司的 570 多万名注册会员,并积极从 195 个国家/地区采购产品信息和技术数据。截至 2025 年初,TraceParts 拥有 2100 多个工业零部件产品目录,下载量超过 2.38 亿次。TraceParts 是一个 CAD 内容平台,提供 60 多种 2D 和 3D 格式的数十亿个工业零部件的 CAD 模型。该公司通过强大的云 API 和 SaaS 应用程序(如 CAD 零件库、产品目录和配置器),为各种规模和行业的客户提供极具针对性的营销曝光。
TraceParts 提供一种独特的建模技术,可直接重新利用现有的产品 CAD 模型,并将其转换成几乎任何格式,同时保证客户的知识产权安全。客户只需上传他们的3D 文件和产品数据,TraceParts 即可完成剩下的工作。TraceParts 还可以使用客户的产品数据表和规格,从头开始为客户的产品建立参数模型。其结果是以 60 多种不同的本地和中性格式输出真实比例的 CAD 模型,以及与设计相关的丰富产品信息。
自 2010 年以来,TraceParts 的某些输出 CAD 格式使用了 Spatial 的 3D ACIS 建模内核和 3D InterOp 软件开发工具包。3D ACIS Modeler 提供了创建高质量应用程序所需的技术能力,支持各种工业建模方法,包括直接建模和基于历史的建模。3D InterOp 使 TraceParts 的应用程序能够与广泛的 CAD 格式无缝协作。

挑战
提供大众喜闻乐见且功能强大的在线 3D 查看器
在当今快速发展的市场中,机器设计优化从未如此重要。制造业希望缩短产品上市时间,而工业设计师和工程师则不断应对设计挑战。TraceParts 旨在通过其创新的 CAD 内容平台来节省设计时间。
作为在线订购流程的一部分,客户可以在 TraceParts 3D Viewer Pro 中预览他们所选的零件。3D 预览功能需要为客户无缝执行,并允许他们在屏幕上操作零件。他们需要一个强大的基于浏览器的 3D 建模和云 CAD 解决方案,来实现高质量的渲染。
此外,TraceParts 还希望在其在线查看器中引入更高级的 CAD 功能,如交互式测量、多个切割平面和装配体爆破视图。这使他们的客户能够超越可视化的范畴,通过更快更好地工作来实现提高生产力的承诺。



解决方案
通过无缝集成和高质量渲染实现 3D Web可视化
TraceParts 与 Spatial 长达15 年的合作关系为双方的成功合作奠定了基础。该公司对 3D ACIS Modeler 和 3D InterOp 的使用证明了 Spatial 软件开发工具包 (SDK) 在 TraceParts 应用程序中的高质量工作。随着 TraceParts 不断面临新的挑战,现在正是引入功能强大的 3D Web可视化组件 HOOPS Communicator 的绝佳时机。
对于 TraceParts 团队的决定至关重要的是,HOOPS Communicator 可以与Spatial数据处理工作流程的其余部分进行无缝集成。集成过程包括使用 Spatial 团队提供的 HOOPS 桥接器生成 HOOPS 模型(.scs 文件)。该桥接器可通过两种方式使用:仅使用 ACIS 内核从内存中的 ACIS 实体生成 .scs 文件,或使用 3D InterOp 将现有的 .sat 或 .step 文件转换为 .cs 文件或任何其他 CAD 格式。
在此过程之后,根据每个客户合同定义中的特定选项,TraceParts 可直接在客户产品目录页面上立即使用新的 TraceParts 3D Viewer Pro 替换传统的 TraceParts 基本查看器。当 TraceParts 客户希望在其产品页面上无缝嵌入交互式 3D 查看器时,HOOPS Communicator 也可作为合同选项提供给他们。
HOOPS Communicator 的全面集成仅用了两个月的时间,Spatial 技术客户经理与 TraceParts 开发人员并肩作战,提供了积极主动的支持。
主要观点
SDK 相辅相成,提供全面的解决方案
当带有 HOOPS Communicator 的新 TraceParts 3D Viewer Pro 推出后,弥补了公司产品的空白。
HOOPS SDK 与现有 的3D ACIS Modeler 和 3D InterOp 的无缝集成,节省了 TraceParts 的实施时间,同时还获得了值得信赖的合作伙伴和众所周知的支持服务。现在,TraceParts 3D Viewer Pro 扩展了 CAD 内容公司的功能,使客户能够为工程师访问数以千计的 3D 工业模型。
