Supplyframe Surpasses 1.2 Million Registered Engineers as CAD Model Adoption Grows 20% Year-on-Year

Milestone underscores accelerating demand for high-quality digital component intelligence across the electronics design ecosystem

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Supplyframe, a Siemens company and the leading intelligence platform for the electronics industry, today announced that its technical content and CAD model ecosystem has surpassed 1.2 million registered engineers worldwide, alongside 20% year-on-year growth in model adoption over the past 12 months.

The milestone reflects the increasing reliance of electronics engineers on accurate, standardized, and readily accessible component data to accelerate design cycles, reduce risk, and improve decision-making across increasingly complex product development environments.

Supplyframe’s model library and content services are embedded across the global electronics supply chain, supporting engineers at every stage of the design process — from concept and schematic capture through to validation and procurement.

“This milestone is a strong validation of the long-term shift we are seeing in how engineers design electronics,” said Alex MacDougall, vice president of technical content strategy at Supplyframe. “Engineers increasingly expect trusted, production-ready CAD models and technical data to be available instantly within their design flow. Our focus has been on building scalable, high-quality content that engineers can rely on every day and the adoption growth shows that this approach is working.”

Over the past year, Supplyframe has continued to expand its technical content infrastructure including into mechanical 3D Models, enabling faster onboarding of new components, broader coverage across manufacturers, and deeper integration into EDA and software workflows. The result is a continuously growing content ecosystem that helps engineers design with confidence while enabling manufacturers and distributors to better support real-world engineering demand.

“Reaching 1.2 million registered engineers is not just a numerical milestone, it represents trust at scale,” said Steve Flagg, CEO of Supplyframe. “Engineers return to platforms that consistently deliver accuracy, usability, and relevance. The continued growth in model adoption demonstrates Supplyframe’s unique ability to connect engineering intent with the broader electronics value chain, and we see this momentum accelerating as digital design becomes even more central to innovation.”

As part of Siemens Digital Industries Software, Supplyframe continues to invest in content quality, automation, and analytics, helping bridge the gap between design engineering and the electronics supply ecosystem.
