CADENAS GmbH is an engineering software and solutions provider founded in 1992 and headquartered in Augsburg, Germany. It connects component manufacturers with engineers through digital product catalogs, product configurators, and intelligent parts-management tools. Its global team comprises more than 400 people across 14 countries. ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit supports engineering teams with geometric and visual search, internal and supplier parts reuse, duplicate detection, preferred-part selection, and standardization. It connects parts data to existing CAD, PLM, and ERP environments; CADENAS explicitly names Teamcenter, Windchill, SAP, and Autodesk Vault among its integrations. PARTsolutions is also a documented CADENAS software product name. These offerings complement existing engineering and PLM systems rather than constitute a full enterprise PLM suite. eCATALOG 3Dfindit helps industrial component and building-product manufacturers create digital catalogs, configurable 3D CAD models, BIM content, and downloadable engineering data. Catalogs can be published on the public 3Dfindit search platform, with interactive product visualization and download-based lead capture. The public platform provides manufacturer-verified CAD, CAE, and BIM models in more than 100 native formats.
