Cadenas, a leading software developer in the areas of strategic parts management and electronic product catalogs, and C3D Labs, the fast-growing provider of 3D software development toolkits, today announced their partnership in technology integration. The Cadenas download portals
PARTcommunity and BIMcatalogs. net provide engineers, architects and planers millions of 3D CAD & 3D BIM CAD models of Electronic Product Catalogs from component manufacturers. Thanks to the partnership of CADENAS and C3D Labs the download portals supports CAD models in the
C3D kernel format developed by C3D Labs, by integrating the C3D Converter data exchange module into CADENAS’ web servers. Designers who use C3D-based CAD software can now access models in native format from PARTcommunity and BIMcatalogs.net, and then integrate them in their projects without data loss. Cadenas hosts certified product catalogs from over 700 renowned manufacturers. CADENAS’ download portals let designers download models and specifications in a variety of exchange and native CAD formats, including now C3D. CAD models in the C3D format
are now available for downloading from the CADENAS sites:
• Renga available on www.BIMcatalogs.net for the architecture and building industries.
• KOMPAS-3D available on www.partcommunity.com for mechanical and electrical design.
“We are very happy that we can provide the C3D kernel format because many engineers and architects requested it because it is included in CAD software like KOMPAS-3D, says Jürgen Heimbach, CEO of CADENAS GmbH.
“Thanks to our collaboration with CADENAS, Renga and KOMPAS-3D users can now download 3D models in the C3D format,” says Oleg Zykov, CEO of C3D Labs. “This move will encourage other developers who use our C3D Toolkit to implement the C3D file format in their products. Not only can designers now get models in C3D format from CADENAS, but they will be able to exchange data accurately with each other.”

BOGE inspires Europe. This was established by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) based in Great Britain. They included us on their list of “1000 Companies to Inspire Europe 2018”. BOGE is therefore one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing companies in Europe – demonstrating the varied and promising potential of the future EU economy, according to the LSEG. With revolutionary ideas and unique concepts for compressed air systems, BOGE is continuously furthering innovation. The LSEG published its report “1000 Companies to Inspire Europe 2018” on 25 September in Brussels, together with the vice president of the European Commission Jyrki Katainen. Inclusion on the list shows once again that BOGE is on the right course for the future with an innovation-driven company culture. BOGE has already received numerous prizes, including the renowned“Diamond Star” prize from the Handelsblatt magazine in 2017, for its groundbreaking high-speed turbo compressor and the unusual continuous improvement programme service concept. In its report, the GB-based stock market and financial information company LSEG identified small and medium companies (SMEs) with an exceptional annual growth rate. They therefore contribute to the transformation of the European economy, create jobs, and give a young generation of Europeans a future in times of high youth unemployment. For its report, the LSEG looks at European SMEs using central financial
performance figures. They compare all companies under consideration in a country with one another, based on their average annual growth rate. Any company that particularly stands out is included on the list – such as BOGE, the inspiring compressed air specialist based in Bielefeld
