iSEEK Corporation has developed an add-in for Microsoft Excel, as demonstrated in the demo movie below, to enable users to perform shape searches to identify duplicate or similar parts or assemblies. Performing the shape search function using Excel does not require any knowledge of CAD or PLM. The shape search is triggered inside Excel and the search results are displayed in an Excel spreadsheet.

iSEEK Corporation is a pioneer in shape-based search, classification, and analytics. CADSEEK Polaris, the company's flagship product enables the retrieval of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file based on a three-dimensional (3D) target shape. CADSEEK Mobile enables the retrieval of a CAD or stereolithography (STL) file of an object based on two-dimensional (2D) photos of the target object.

Just as text is used to search for text, the VizSeek software finds images using an image.
