Free downloadable 3D CAD models provide design simplicity for digital panel meters

Designers no longer have to extract the physical dimensions from a printed datasheet in order to model the meter. Simply importing the CAD file and dropping it into the end-design saves time, ensures design accuracy and helps speed time to market.

The use of internationally recognized file formats such as STEP and IGES allows designers to import the models into other prominent mechanical design packages such as PRO/E and AutoCAD. Use of the 3D PDF allows engineers to quickly take a view of the model before importing into the CAD application.
