Oleg I hope you have seen what Autodesk did and compared the 3D contends suppliers that are used. I am sure that the 3D content will grow in the future. What you wrote before concerning native formats is true. I think most of the users will prefer to use native formats because in those formats the can work as usual and if they have imported them from the portals using CADENAS technology they will also import the attributes of this parts. I invite you and the people who might be interested to visit our new portals and to see in a video in which direction the new technologies of 3D contents will go.

I really hope you like our services and will be really happy if you could give me your opinion on it.

Gabriel, Thanks for your comments. I definitely had no preference when choosing screenshots … It was on the “first come” basis. I wasn’t aware about Cadenas/Autodesk relations, as I mentioned I’m still learning what Autodesk did. Thanks for links… Best, Oleg

Nice post Oleg, and I do confirm that 3D content is definitely growing, thanks to the offerings of 3D engineering content specialists like TraceParts (www.traceparts.com). But what you mention as the Autodesk Content 3D Warehouse BETA is just the new site of Cadenas, one of the 3 content suppliers selected by Autodesk inside their Manufacturing Community (http://mfgcommunity.autodesk.com/content/)
I’m also surprised by the screenshot you selected from 3Dvia.com, which comes from the only 4 models uploaded by the same Cadenas, and not from the 150 uploaded by TraceParts (http://www.3dvia.com/search/models/traceparts)

Manuel, The need of format is obvious. However, I hardly believe it will happen. Companies (and users) will prefer to use native format to prevent translation hassle. Re-use will be an interesting problem. Thanks for your comments! Best, Oleg

More content will for sure come online, but its equally important that sources think of a generic format for publishing and reusing these 3d-objects. The first thing that comes to my mind is JT format, which is now ISO standard and all automotive are leaning towards using this format as standard.
I am not sure, what these warehouses use as standard, but i know autodesk publish data as dwg/step?

But overall, I think, one day we will see a cloud dedicated to standard parts or a cloud connecting all sources ( whichever way you want to think) and making reuse capability smarter.
