3M website helps users build their own cable assemblies

Diversified technology company 3M has introduced a new web site that enables users to build their own cable assemblies.  Using the "Find-A-Part" software application and the graphic oriented VCAT (Virtual Cable Assembly Tool) software, users can design literally millions of possible cable assemblies for their own custom use.  Offering dynamic part configuration and using the latest in browse and search technologies, the new streamlined website design also makes it much easier to find product features and benefits. 

Users are also now able to dynamically configure part numbers themselves, eliminating common errors.  Also available on the site are related technical and sales documents and 3D models.  Customers can check distributor inventory, submit a request for product sample or request a quote using simple web forms.
