Engineers and Designers are faced with the challenge of executing product design in the most cost and time efficient manner. The decision to re-design rather than re-use an existing part directly impacts profitability; but faced with searching through mutli-CAD files, data and related files, it often becomes faster to simply create a new part, costing time and money.
EXALEAD OnePart is the answer! As a powerful search and discovery solution; EXALEAD OnePart allows Engineers and designers to find and reuse existing parts, products and associated data, even if it is not visibly stored! The result – accelerated product development, optimal part reuse and reduced costs.

How does it work?
EXALEAD OnePart Leverages the proven Web semantics, analytics, and Big Data management technologies of EXALEAD CloudView™, locating information from multiple sources and makes it available instantly. Able to search and locate data from many different sources (including CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Pro/Engineer, documents from Microsoft Office, PDF, images in different formats etc) it delivers a rapid and dramatic ROI from legacy data and part reuse.
With just a few clicks, users explore legacy parts and related 2D/3D designs, gaining immediate insight into vast amounts of previously hidden data. They can further refine their search using side-by-side comparisons to identify the right part for reuse. When a similar part is discovered, the user can also analyze important related documentation like specifications, testing, validation, and certification material in multiple formats (such as .xls & .pdf) to facilitate optimal reuse and a complete view of the situation.
Key Capabilities
- Search parts, assemblies, and drawings from most data sources, including major CAD providers, from a user-friendly full-text search bar
- Auto-complete Web search functionality speeds user queries
- Navigation into the parent and children relationships of an assembly to converge on the exact right part
- 3D mechanical feature mining (locating parts based on holes, pads, grooves, and more)
- Side-by-side comparisons to quickly highlight the most relevant part or reus
- Shape Search to find similar parts based on a known reference User-friendly charts and graphs with configurable KPIs for rapid analysis
