Future Electronics, global distributor of electronic components, and SnapMagic, a provider of CAD models and design enablement tools for electronic components, have launched integrated SnapMagic CAD models across the Future Electronics global online catalog. Engineers can now download verified symbols, footprints and 3D models directly from supported product pages, enabling a transition from component selection to PCB layout.
The new integration brings over 10 million CAD assets into the Future Electronics digital experience, allowing engineers to download models in formats compatible with leading ECAD tools without leaving the website. Each model is aligned with manufacturer specifications to support accuracy throughout early design stages.
“Providing engineers with immediate access to reliable CAD resources reinforces our commitment to supporting customers throughout the entire design journey,” says Georgia Genovezos, corporate vice president of Digital Marketing at Future Electronics.
SnapMagic brings its CAD library and model generation expertise to the collaboration. “Our goal is to remove friction from the design process by making CAD models easy to find and easy to use,” says Natasha Baker, CEO at SnapMagic. “Partnering with Future Electronics allows SnapMagic to support engineers as they are selecting components – without needing to change their existing workflows.”
