MFG.com Selects SolidWorks eDrawings as its View and Publish Standard for Sharing Engineering Data Between Buyers and Suppliers
"The selection of eDrawings as our standard format for sharing computer-aided design (CAD) data was the result of extensive research and testing," states MFG.com CEO and President, Mitch Free. "Collaboration between Buyers and Suppliers is a crucial part of sourcing for engineered components. With eDrawings our buyers can securely show their drawings to prospective suppliers without revealing sensitive design data. Suppliers are able to view and interrogate the drawings with enough detail to accurately submit quotes for production. All MFG.com users will benefit from the implementation of this technology."
eDrawings is a free, 2-D and 3-D CAD viewing application that does for transmitting CAD drawings what the Adobe® Reader does for printed documents. eDrawings can be sent via the Internet with 95% less bandwidth than traditional CAD files.
"MFG.com's adoption of eDrawings further underscores both the universal acceptance of this powerful tool, and the market leadership of MFG.com. It is the realization of the eDrawings vision whereby two parties are able to communicate and collaborate seamlessly." concludes Aaron Kelly, Product Manager of the SolidWorks Corporation.
