The solution for product data management for small and medium-sized enterprises in mechanical and plant engineering.
PDM Studio
Extremely easy to use, highly flexible, and quickly implemented
PDM Studio is a flexible, multi-CAD-capable product data management system for medium-sized companies. It enables a unified, structured management of data across design, manufacturing, sales, and service, even with complex data relationships.
Automating recurring processes leads to a significant increase in efficiency and quality throughout the product development process. Office documents can also be securely integrated into the directory structure, ensuring version control. This eliminates redundant data once and for all.

The standard installation packages for a quick, efficient start
Do you also think that implementing a PDM solution is extremely time-consuming and expensive? With our two standard packages, you can make the perfect start into the world of structured product data management.
Based on our years of experience in numerous PDM/PLM projects, we have created PDM Studio BASIC, an optimal starter package for most use cases (currently for the CAD system Solid Edge). The PDM Studio PLUS package builds upon the starter package and includes an additional set of features that our customers most frequently request. Of course, both packages can also be individually customized.
And what do you get out of it? Thanks to standardization, we are able to offer both packages with comprehensive features at an attractive price.
Thanks to our "preparation," the implementation of your PDM system is not only faster but also highly structured. We don't aim for a 100% solution right away, keeping the effort manageable and preventing any overload of your organization. This significantly increases your employees' acceptance of the new software, making the implementation and future expansion much easier.
PDM Studio BASIC
Our starter package for the installation and standardized pre-configuration of PDM Studio includes the following services:
-
Integration with Solid Edge
-
Property templates for design files, drawings, projects, and office documents
-
Properties for user and role management, including permissions
-
Pre-configured status information for standard parts and projects
-
