Intuitive configurators facilitate product selection in addition to providing intelligent 3D CAD models as digital twins in over 150 common native and neutral CAD formats. This way, engineers and designers can easily and quickly select Festo automation components according to the modular principle and put them together for their specific requirements, despite the immense number of variants. The Festo Design Tool 3D, for instance, enables designers, purchasers and fitters to design, order and put together Festo product assemblies quickly, reliably and efficiently, and to obtain transparent prices and delivery times.

The Festo product catalog contains comprehensive engineering data, such as weight, kinematics, coloring, end-of-life, eCLASS classifications, etc., in addition to 3D CAD geometries of the components. They provide maximum convenience and functionality for product development. On the top of that, the product catalog supports the company’s international orientation by making all product information available worldwide in 15 languages.

“Thanks to CADENAS’ technology, we can offer our customers CAD data in all relevant file formats for more than 33,000 products in several hundred thousand variants,” said Jürgen Herr, Head of Customer CAD and Digital Media at Festo SE & Co. KG. “In addition to pure CAD geometry, we place great emphasis on kinematics functions, discontinuation information, product-specific links to our product catalog, and seamless integration into product configurators during the creation process. As a result, we support our customers with consistent and high-quality CAD data even in the early stages of product selection and design.”
