Sketch And Seek With 3D-Seek

3D-Seek is a new search engine from Imaginestics that enables industrial customers to quickly and easily search parts catalogs based on sketches, CAD drawings, or existing online drawings.  Essentially the electronic equivalent of doodling on a napkin, the online sketchpad allows you to draw a rough equivalent of what you are looking for and pattern recognition technology does the rest.  What would once take hours of searching through catalogs and speaking with parts vendors trying to describe what you’re looking for, now only takes seconds.  Of course, if you can’t draw much more than your average stick figure, uploading a CAD drawing of your search criteria is always an option.  With around 6,000 items in the current index, new items are being added on a regular basis by vendors and the search portal’s web crawlers.  Once this kind of technology is firmly established, we can see the potential for it moving into areas that can benefit the average consumer as well.
