Companies today need modern tools to handle complex product development challenges and stay ahead of the competition. Many are forced to collaborate across a multi CAD environment to meet market, customer, and regulatory demands. While this can be a pain, it’s necessary to meet a variety of design needs and to streamline collaboration across the supply chain. Ultimately, deploying the right CAD PLM integration solution makes managing products in a multi CAD environment a breeze.
What Is a Multi CAD PLM Integration?
A multi CAD PLM integration brings together data from different CAD systems so you can easily manage all of it within a single PLM solution. This enables companies to streamline product development processes while also supporting improved collaboration. Deploying a multi CAD PLM integration makes it possible to:
- Access data from different CAD systems all in one place
- Exchange and convert data between CAD systems
- Collaborate with different stakeholders and teams using a common data format
- Track, control, and manage revisions even with data coming from different CAD systems
- Validate and optimize product performance and quality
Organizations that implement a multi CAD PLM integration reap many benefits including improved product development efficiency, quality, and innovation.
