PDM Studio with SOLIDWORKS CAD

Fully integrated, easy to use, flexibly expandable

SOLIDWORKS is the most widely used CAD system in the world. Many SOLIDWORKS resellers only offer SOLIDWORKS PDM, which comes from the same company, as a suitable solution for product data management. Especially with the "standard" version, there are some limitations here compared to PDM Studio. It is worth taking a look at the functional scope of both solutions, also with regard to the pricing and openness of the systems with regard to the connection of third-party systems.

The direct integration of PDM Studio in SOLIDWORKS makes it possible to efficiently manage the product data and call up the functions directly from SOLIDWORKS. A time-consuming change of the application is not necessary. This saves time and the focus remains on the daily work.

All information provided by SOLIDWORKS is also mapped in PDM Studio:

  • Structure of the assembly and the connection of 3D model and drawing.
  • Quick overview of the assemblies without having to open SOLIDWORKS.
  • Synchronization of file properties between SOLIDWORKS and PDM Studio.
  • Use the information to fill in the title block in Solid Edge or to derive BOMs in SOLIDWORKS.
  • Additional documents can be added to the structure or to a single document for more clarity, e.g. a PDF containing the specifications for a purchased part can be attached directly to the part.

  • Replace the selected model in the assembly

The integration and introduction of PDM Studio is usually possible within a few weeks. Preparation of all data in advance is not necessary. Inventory data is transferred 1:1 from another PDM system or the folder structure and only optimized in the course of processing. It doesn't get any faster or easier than this!
