Webinar: Can Cloud-Based CAD and Data Management Make PDM Invisible?

3D CAD software generates thousands of files. Chaos can ensue if you don’t manage these files effectively.

3D CAD software generates thousands of files. Chaos can ensue if you don’t manage these files effectively.

Product data management software was invented for this purpose, but it doesn’t solve the problems; it can even make them worse.

Modern cloud-based CAD systems, when paired with cloud-based PDM can make data management an invisible process, freeing product teams from “design gridlock.”

In this webinar, we will discuss the concept of design gridlock, what it is and how it can be prevented with modern CAD and data management tools.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • What design gridlock is and how it is caused
  • How cloud-based tools help engineers manage data within their existing workflows rather than through a set of separate steps
