Achieve Greater Efficiency through Data Management
Securely manage and share engineering design data, eliminate lost files, prevent unauthorized changes and enable concurrent design. SolidWorks Workgroup PDM lets you easily vault, search for, and retrieve design data while maintaining complex file relationships and design history.
SolidWorks Workgroup PDM is a SolidWorks add-in that offers automated revision control, vaulting, concurrent engineering, collaboration, and report generation capability inside SolidWorks. Operating at the highest level of integration possible with SolidWorks, the learning curve for traditionally complex data management has been reduced to several hours.
Thanks to SolidWorks, we can always improve custom designs for our customers, without having to start from scratch. This allows us to spend more time on the actual design.
