SolidWorks Explorer is available to both SolidWorks and non-SolidWorks users.
SolidWorks Explorer Features:
- Open & preview SolidWorks documents

SolidWorks Workgroup PDM Contributor
SolidWorks Explorer can also access SolidWorks Workgroup PDM vaults providing your product design team with the ability to share files and data more easily. The SolidWorks Workgroup PDM Contributor allows non-CAD users such as manufacturing and purchasing staff members to access and add documents to the vault, thus providing non-SolidWorks users with cost effective access to all the capabilities of SolidWorks Workgroup PDM. Controlled access to project files benefits all members of your organization and simplifies collaborative efforts.
