Check out PartSupply – millions of 3D Parts at your fingertips

Suzanne Locke - Thank you for letting the Community know

Glenn Schroeder - It would be great if you could add this to your FAQ - maybe adding a topic - something like "Where to Find Models" 

Thanks

This is really great! I get tired of creating accounts to get parts from different manufacturers because more and more of them are requiring accounts to get their parts.  Then when I go back to the site months or years later, I can't remember the password.  Now looks like the bulk of that can be handled through the portal, which has the same login as the forum.

I'm forwarding the link to my coworkers.

I first searched for Misumi and got a few hits, but none that were for Misumi, just some slide suppliers. The search engine must have assumed I'm looking for slides and not something else. Was that on purpose? Can vendors buy search substitutions? Advertising? Is the site going to get trashy, the way Amazon is going?

OK, this is pretty cool.

How do we go about adding more suppliers?   Is there a way that we (as customers) can get this ball rolling?

One other thing that I notice....apparently the search capability is dependent on what you are currently viewing.

Let me explain:

From the home area, I search for "bimba" which is a supplier that I use:

I get 97 hits with 142 configurations:

However, if I go back to the home area and select, say....bearings:

THEN search for Bimba, I get 3 hits:

So this is something to note.   Apparently the search function ONLY searches inside the area you are currently viewing.   Good to know.

Can we please have an option to show lists without graphics?  This is incredibly difficult to browse:

Also, some sort of filtering capability would be nice.  For example, I have no need to see furniture accessories from a French company.

Guys/Girls the really nice feature is....... that it's right here....

One big question comes to mind, will this add-on work on most SolidWorks version or will it require to be at the very least SolidWorks 2018? I'm running 2016 right now and I really like what I'm seeing, it reminds me of McMaster.

Also, is there or will there be an option that links the model to the database so that it updates itself when the database updates?

..no workie...

Oh joy...

More add-ins to make Solidworks even SLOWER to fire up...

Yay, millions of part models at my fingertips! Alas, all are from suppliers we don't use. At least Lego is in there, so that'll give me something to play with during lunch.

Seriously though, I like it and hope that more suppliers are added so this will become more useful.

Sounds good almost to good to be true if all above works!!

I generally use partcommunity - alot of choice on there, including many that some here commented they were wanting models. PC genrally offers most formats and search works well for what I do, descriptions and specs are generally good  etc.   I suppose my question would be what more would there be provided?
