How Does SOLIDWORKS PDM Work?
SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management) offers users of all organizational sizes the version control, collaboration, and product data storage solutions they require to succeed across all design process aspects. Product Data Management adds integral structure to your team’s efforts at data management, version tracking, and real-time data governance.
SOLIDWORKS PDM can be leveraged to improve collaboration within an organization’s team, but it also helps businesses work with partner organizations and outside contractors with greater ease, too. PDM systems also assist brands in their automation efforts, reducing errors in manufacturing and tracking changes in the design layout automatically.
