Interactive engineering platform helps distributors and OEMs configure cooling products while shortening the path from product selection to equipment design.

[MEBANE, NC, July 21] — AKG Thermal Systems has launched a new online 3D Cooler Configurator built by CADENAS USA on the eCATALOG 3Dfindit platform. The tool provides distributors, OEM engineers, and equipment designers access to configure cooling products and instantly download production-ready CAD models into their designs. By providing immediate access to engineering data, AKG is helping customers evaluate products more quickly and keep projects moving.

"We wanted to make it easier for distributors and engineers to get the product information they need when they need it," said Aaron Hawkins, Marketing Manager for AKG of America. "The 3D Cooler Configurator gives customers direct access to configure products, review technical information, and download CAD models without waiting for someone to generate them manually."

Before launching the configurator, customers requesting CAD models worked directly with AKG's sales and design teams. Because many cooling systems are built from configurable options, each request often required a custom CAD model before it could be delivered.

For engineers, access to accurate CAD models is an early step in the equipment design process. These models help verify fit, evaluate packaging constraints, and confirm a selected cooling product integrates properly before moving further into a design. By making them available online, AKG gives customers immediate access to the engineering data they need without waiting for manual model creation.

"As requests for CAD models continued to grow, our distributors needed faster turnaround times," said Beena Jaiprakash, Engineering Manager at AKG Thermal Systems. “If we had five or six model requests in the queue, customers could end up waiting to get a 3D file, and that really held up design time."

The configurator streamlines access for six AKG product families, including the DCS Series. Together, these product families represent more than 37,700 possible configurations which are now available online. Users can adjust products based on application requirements, view technical specifications, download PDF datasheets, and generate CAD models for use in their preferred engineering software. Additional families include the D series, DCSB, AR/ARL, CR/CRL, and HR series. The full catalog of AKG Thermal Systems product families will be available in the near future.

"Now engineers don't have to wait for CAD models at all. They can just get it themselves on demand, which is awesome," Jaiprakash said.

The configurator supports standard product selection while allowing AKG's engineering team to focus more of its time on specialized applications and custom thermal solutions.
