SOLIDWORKS PDM
Engineering data management for SOLIDWORKS-centric design teams.
SOLIDWORKS PDM is a vault-based product data management system for controlling CAD files, revisions, and release workflows in SOLIDWORKS environments. It handles check-in/check-out, versioning, approval workflows, and basic BOM output, and is often the starting point before a company moves to a broader PLM system.
