Free 3D CAD Models Ease Digital Panel Meter Deployment

Murata Power Solutions offers free, downloadable 3D CAD models of its complete panel meter range. Available in SolidWorks 2011, Standard for the Exchange of Product Model data (STEP), Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES), or 3D PDF file formats, the CAD files allow users to easily integrate digital-panel-meter models into their own designs. This also makes it unnecessary to extract physical dimensions from a printed datasheet in order to model the meter. Importing the CAD file and dropping it into the end design promises to save time, ensure design accuracy, and speed time to market. MURATA POWER SOLUTIONS INC., Mansfield, MA. (508) 339-3000.
