Product Data Management
Product Data Management
A single source of truth for CAD models, drawings, specifications, and revisions — centralised, version-controlled, traceable. The foundation of every modern PLM workflow.
What is PDM?
Centralise, Control, Collaborate
Product Data Management centralises CAD, documents, parts, and manufacturing requirements in a single, secure data vault. Without PDM, organisations risk data silos, costly errors, version chaos, and significant delays.
On the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, PDM integrates natively with multiple CAD applications, ERP, and downstream PLM — enabling real-time data sync, automated change management, and end-to-end visibility.
Core Pillars
Five Pillars of Product Data Management
Centralised Data Vault
A single, secure repository for CAD files, documents, and metadata — no more data silos or inconsistencies.
Revision Control
Track every revision so teams always work from the "right" version — no accidental overwrites, no outdated data.
Workflow Automation
Standardise ECOs and approval cycles — efficiency, accountability, and traceability.
Multi-CAD Data Management
Integrate with CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, NX, Creo, Inventor — manage and collaborate across design environments.
Collaboration & Access
Role-based access for all stakeholders — concurrent engineering across offices and time zones.
Sustainability Foundation
Material, supplier, and process traceability — supporting RoHS, REACH, and life-cycle assessment.
Key Features
What PDM Brings to the Table
Innovation Acceleration
Streamline and automate complex product-development processes — get out of the file-shuffling business.
Data-Driven Decisions
Advanced analytics empower informed choices throughout the lifecycle.
Scalability & Flexibility
Adapt to diverse business needs and grow with your company — startup to global enterprise.
Use Cases
Where PDM Pays Off
Engineering Collaboration
Simultaneous work with version control — reduces errors, speeds up design.
Manufacturing & Production
Manufacturing aligns with the latest specs — critical for aerospace, automotive.
Supply Chain
Controlled supplier access; rapid adaptation to design changes.
Quality & Compliance
Centralised documentation, clear audit trail — simplified regulatory compliance.
