Future Electronics and SnapMagic, a provider of CAD models and design enablement tools for electronic components, have announced the launch of integrated SnapMagic CAD models across the Future Electronics global online catalogue.
SnapMagic was created to solve a common problem engineers face when designing electronics: finding reliable component models. Engineers often spend hours creating symbols, footprints, and 3D models, and SnapMagic pioneered the digital CAD library to create a place for engineers to get everything they need in one place.
Engineers can now find ready-to-use parts that meet industry standards. The result is less rework, fewer design errors, and faster development. Component selection and design-ready assets are now in one place, so the jump from ‘I picked a part’ to ‘it’s in my PCB layout’ happens in seconds instead of hours.
The new integration brings over ten million CAD assets into the Future Electronics digital experience, allowing engineers to download models in formats compatible with leading ECAD tools without leaving the website. Each model is aligned with manufacturer specifications to support accuracy and consistency throughout early design stages.
“Providing engineers with immediate access to reliable CAD resources reinforces our commitment to supporting customers throughout the entire design journey,” said Georgia Genovezos, Corporate Vice President of Digital Marketing at Future Electronics. “By working closely with SnapMagic, we are delivering a seamless experience that connects component selection with practical design execution.”
“Our goal is to remove friction from the design process by making CAD models easy to find and easy to use,” said Natasha Baker, CEO at SnapMagic. “Partnering with Future Electronics allows SnapMagic to support engineers as they are selecting components – without needing to change their existing workflows.”
This joint launch represents a shared focus on design enablement and reflects both companies’ continued investment in tools that help engineering teams move faster and design with confidence.
“For us, the strategy is simple: meet engineers where they already are. By integrating our CAD library directly into Future’s catalogue, we’re putting millions of design-ready assets in front of engineers at the exact moment they need them, during component selection. This is part of our broader ‘Digitise the Design Win’ approach, where we partner with distributors and manufacturers to connect engineers, CAD tools, and component suppliers into one seamless workflow,” said Baker.
