Search industrial parts by the route that fits your task
The home screen places search at the center of the TraceParts workflow, making it possible to move from a broad catalog entry point toward a more specific component reference. The search page combines a text field with a type selector, so users can decide whether to look across everything or begin with a defined catalog route.
The available routes include All, Product, Part Number, Category, and Parts library. That structure suits different starting points: a known supplier reference can lead to a part-number search, while a design idea can begin with a product or category. Engineers can use the same mobile entry point for quick checks before a longer desktop design session.
Browse 3D models, CAD files, and technical product data
TraceParts is centered on industrial component content rather than general file storage. Its catalog service brings together supplier product information, 3D models, CAD files, and 2D drawings, giving engineers and designers a way to compare relevant technical material before selecting a component for a real project or assembly.
The broader workflow supports many familiar design environments and neutral CAD formats, while the mobile listing describes reviewing models and sending a selected CAD file to a workstation. The exact formats and handoff options can vary by catalog, but the app is useful for keeping model discovery close to the design conversation.
Keep research moving with catalogs and TraceParts news
A parts library is more useful when it can be revisited as projects change, and TraceParts combines catalog entry points with a dedicated news area. The home interface surfaces the parts-library route alongside TraceParts news, giving users a compact place to continue product research and keep up with developments around the CAD community.
This combination works for recurring reference tasks: revisit a known catalog, compare component families, or scan news before a supplier discussion. It keeps technical discovery and industry context together without turning the app into a full CAD editor, so detailed modeling can remain in the workstation tool that the project already uses.
Use a mobile reference point for design decisions
TraceParts is suited to the moments when an engineer or designer needs product information away from a desk. The company describes its mobile application as a way to access product lines and technical data on a smartphone or tablet, including use at sales meetings, trade fairs, and other conversations where a physical catalog is impractical.
A phone-sized search route can help confirm a component family, show the kind of model data a supplier provides, or prepare a follow-up for workstation design. Because catalog content is delivered through an internet-connected service, a usable connection is important when browsing parts, models, or news.
