SolidWorks Enterprise PDM

SolidWorks Enterprise Product Data Management (EPDM) provides an easy way for your design teams to manage product data, share design information, automate workflows, and improve collaboration between engineering and manufacturing.

SolidWorks Enterprise PDM is a PDM solution based on proven technology that can be deployed in a fraction of the time required for other enterprise PDM systems. It is entirely integrated within Windows® Explorer. You can perform all PDM functions through either the familiar Windows Explorer interface or your CAD system. Through this PDM software functionality, users across the enterprise can readily manage files and collaborate more effectively throughout the product lifecycle.

Features of SolidWorks Enterprise PDM:

1. Secure access
   • Protect your product design data by providing secure, managed access only to authorised individuals, over a network or via the Web. You also can give access to partners, customers, and supply chain partners.
2. Revision control
   • Help your design team avoid overwriting files, and assist purchasing and manufacturing in ordering and producing the correct parts.
3. Full document preview
   • You can view and print more than 250 file types–including SolidWorks, AutoCAD®, PDF, and Microsoft® Office–plus images, animations, movie files, and more. Other CAD platforms like Inventor® and Solid Edge® can be previewed using readily-available viewers.
4. Design data search and re-use
   • It’s easy to find documents based on their names, contained data, attached metadata, workflow state, and other parameters. For even greater productivity, you can predefine, save, and share your searches.
5. Custom configuration
   • SolidWorks Enterprise PDM is fully configurable, so it works well within your unique team structure, design process, and industry.
6. Scalability
   • As your design organization grows, you’ll work with the same high level of speed, functionality, and security.
