SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard is ideal for small workgroups
who want to collaborate and effectively manage their data.
SOLIDWORKS Product Data Management (PDM) products manage and synchronise your design data across your entire enterprise with a single, easily deployable solution tightly integrated with all SOLIDWORKS applications.
By using a secure vault, you can extend the access to your 3D design environment and associated files, for all participants from engineering through manufacturing. This enables everyone involved in your projects to share information and collaborate on designs, while automatically protecting your intellectual property with the automated version and revision control systems.
NB – SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard is included with SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium.
