Why use SOLIDWORKS PDM?
As your company grows, keeping track of design data can become challenging, leading to data loss, human error, and time wasted looking for files. This is where SOLIDWORKS PDM comes in…
- You control who has access to data and documents
- Version control ensures you always have access to the most up-to-date files
- Powerful search capability lets you find files quickly and easily
- Store your CAD models and documents (from emails to images) in an indexed central repository on the company’s server that tracks versions and automates workflows
With PDM you can share and collaborate on designs with staff and partners (in multiple locations), and create an electronic workflow to formalise, manage, and optimise development, document approval, and engineering change processes.
SOLIDWORKS PDM is available in two powerful software packages
-
Standard
SOLIDWORKS Product Data Management (PDM) Standard is generally for smaller design teams with simple requirements for secure check in/check out, revise with simple configurable workflows.
With the pace of product development today, just a few engineers can quickly create gigabytes of design data. It’s easy for files to get lost or misplaced.

Professional
SOLIDWORKS Product Data Management (PDM) Professional is a full-featured data management solution for organisations large and small.
PDM Professional helps your team more easily find and re-purpose files, parts, and drawings; share design information; automate workflows and ensure manufacturing always has the right version.
