FindChips vs. SOLIDWORKS

Since 1998, Findchips has been the electronics industry's go-to search engine for components. It was acquired in 2010. Nearly three decades later since its founding, Findchips is still built on the same principle: one search, every distributor, no runaround. Today, Findchips gives engineers and sourcing professionals free access to real-time availability, pricing, and part data across more than 50 million parts from the world's largest distributors and manufacturers. Search by part number, manufacturer, or keyword.

SOLIDWORKS is the industry-standard 3D CAD solution trusted by more than 8 million engineers and designers worldwide. For over 30 years, it has helped mechanical engineers, product designers and manufacturing firms compress design cycles, control costs and deliver higher-quality products faster. SOLIDWORKS combines parametric 3D modeling, integrated simulation, product data management and direct manufacturing workflows in a single, connected environment—eliminating the need for disconnected point tools.
