Compare real parts on every Paras Defence product
Compare now works on all seven Paras Defence products and on designs you build, not only the Agricopter. Click a connector, a torque motor, a slip ring, an encoder, a thermal core, a lens or a window heater and see real parts from other makers, checked against this design. Replace waits for the physics check, so one click can't break a design that works.


110 new sourced catalogue entries cover frameless torque motors and gearmotors, slewing rings and large bearings, encoders, slip rings, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors, cooled and uncooled thermal cores, EO cameras, thermal zoom lenses and window heaters. Every entry cites the maker's own page or a maker-authored datasheet, and every estimated figure is marked est. with a tooltip.
What a part can be compared with now comes from what the part is (its kind, role and size), never from the product. Each kind has its own fit checks: envelope, mass, bore and bolt circle, torque and voltage, shell size and mount, band, pixel pitch and focal length. A missing figure caps the verdict at Needs changes and says which figure is missing.
A part made to the design, such as a housing, a flange or a mirror blank, says so and suggests a bought-in part to click instead. A bought-in kind the catalogue doesn't hold yet, such as a hydrogen cylinder, a seal or a dowel pin, says that plainly. The Agricopter's results are byte-for-byte what they were.
Replace stays off, marked Checking, until the physics check for that option is in, and it refuses an option that would make a passing design fail, saying why. The agent's swap_part uses the same rule, so it never fits a part Compare doesn't list. Undo is read aloud to screen readers, and the figures chip at the top left no longer runs under the view cube or the Compare strip.
