Components Engine Reviews & Product Details

Components Engine has saved us a lot of hassle when it comes to managing spare parts. The integration with 3D CAD is lightning-fast: you just import the model and you’re ready to go, with everything you need to create interactive exploded views without wasting time on odd conversions. It also works very well with our PDM; files stay synchronised, and you don’t have to chase down manual updates. On top of that, the data automation with our management system via REST API works like a charm: codes, prices, stock—everything is updated automatically, with no more double entry or errors caused by distraction. Overall, it’s a real time-saver both for the technical office and for the people who manage orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None—there’s really nothing to complain about. In fact, the setup was surprisingly quick: we were up and running within a few weeks. Technical support is also top-notch; they respond fast, understand the issue right away, and fix it without beating around the bush. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Components Engine has proven to be a valuable ally for spare parts management in our company. Integration with Zendesk is lightning fast: support tickets link directly to interactive catalogues, so when a customer opens a ticket, the operator immediately sees the 3D exploded view and the exact part without having to dig through a thousand files. The same fluidity applies to 3D CAD – import the model and in a few minutes you have everything ready, navigable and clickable.

Then there is the automation of spare parts data with the management system via REST API: stock and pricing are synchronised automatically, no more manual updates that end up creating messes. It's a simple thing, but it saves a lot of time and eliminates silly mistakes in orders.

I didn't think I'd have such a quick start-up – I was expecting weeks of endless configuration, but instead we were up and running in no time. And the technical support? Top notch: they respond quickly, understand the context immediately and solve problems without wasting your time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using Components Engine about eight months ago to manage our spare parts catalogues, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best choices we’ve made in recent years for our after-sales service.

The integration between the 3D model, bill of materials, and exploded view is genuinely smart and well executed. Once the files are imported (even from SolidWorks or other CAD programmes), the software links almost everything automatically, which greatly reduces manual work and, above all, the risk of errors.

The editor is intuitive and fast, and it lets you work with real precision on exploded views without going crazy.

Online publishing works very well, and the online catalogue is highly appreciated by both customers and technicians in the field. They can order parts in just a few clicks, zoom in, rotate the 3D model, and immediately check availability and prices.

As a result, we’ve drastically reduced calls and emails asking for clarification about spare parts, and incorrect requests have dropped significantly.

Support is responsive (we almost always get a reply within five hours), and updates are released regularly, adding genuinely useful features, such as integrated claims management, which we’re now starting to use.

Overall, it’s clear that the developers really understand the needs of anyone dealing with after-sales spare parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I haven’t come across any relevant ones in the past few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the most obvious strengths of Components Engine is its ability to retrieve and enhance historical PDF catalogs, even rasterized ones, transforming them into truly usable digital tools.

The software allows you to quickly index even very old documentation, maintaining high loading and navigation performance.

A particularly valuable feature is the ability to apply different configurations based on the structure of each individual PDF.

Catalogue with different layouts, not uniform explosion logic, or heterogeneous graphic styles can be managed without any constraints.

This approach allows you to preserve your existing information assets, avoiding costly and time-consuming content re-engineering activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial phase of defining recognition and navigation rules requires a minimum of preliminary analysis of the available PDFs.

However, this step translates into a medium-term advantage, as it guarantees a stable, reusable, and highly efficient configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Components Engine for some time now, and one of the aspects that has impressed me most is the fluidity of the 3D "model".

Navigation between models is extremely natural: I can rotate, zoom, and explode even complex assemblies without any slowdowns, which makes work much faster and more enjoyable.

The graphic interface is modern and well designed and very intuitive. There's no need to waste time searching for functions: everything is clear, which is also very helpful for those without a strong technical background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it may take a little time to become familiar with all the available features: there are many functions, and it is not always possible to make full use of them from the very first time you use the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A complete after-sales suite, with no trade-offs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Non-standard ERP systems require dedicated support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I participated as a consultant in an integration between the company management software, the PLM, and Components Engine. The integration was successful without any issues: the PLM directed the design bill of materials to Components Engine along with the CAD models, while the management software provided pricing and availability rules within the web portal intended for customers. The technical support from Components Engine proved to be highly competent and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about. The implementation times were quick, the roadmap was followed, and, as already mentioned, the technical support was excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The introduction of Components Engine has represented a step change in the management of our parts catalogues, mainly due to the seamless integration of 3D models with BOM data. In just a few clicks, codes, descriptions and quantities are automatically and accurately associated, ensuring consistency of information and drastically reducing the need for manual checks. The exploded 3D representation is not only aesthetically effective, but strictly follows the design structure. This allows for simple and immediate navigation, even for users not familiar with CAD environments, significantly improving the understanding of assemblies and the identification of individual parts. A tangible advantage that optimises collaboration between the technical department, service and customers, simplifying the entire component search process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, the user experience has been decidedly straightforward. The tools offered have fully met expectations, without creating any particular difficulties. Of course, each system can be improved over time, but we have not encountered any technical obstacles or significant criticalities worth mentioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using it for almost a year for spare parts catalogs and we wouldn't go back. Before, it was chaos between PDFs and Excel; now, however, we manage to create interactive exploded views (even in 3D) in no time. Customers click on the part, immediately see the code, and order without making mistakes, with much faster assistance.

The editor is intuitive, online publishing is really convenient, and the Italian support responds quickly. For those who produce machines or equipment with many spare parts, I sincerely recommend it: it simplifies life a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about: it is a complete software, rich in features, with truly top-notch support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very high-performance solution. The editor integrated with the CAD allows for automatic import of 3D models and is also integrated with the management system, enabling the import of the multi-level bill of materials for each individual order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about. The technical support is always excellent, punctual, and available when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
