About PDM Studio
PDM Studio is a professional product data management (PDM) software designed to help mechanical and plant engineers organize, control, and access all product-related information in a structured way that aligns with classic product development processes and user needs. It centralizes CAD models, drawings, documents, and related metadata, and supports multi-CAD integration with systems such as Solid Edge, SOLIDWORKS, NX, Inventor, and AutoCAD, enabling users to manage assemblies, versions, revisions, lifecycles, and where-used lists without constantly switching applications. It automates routine tasks such as filling properties and mass creation of neutral file formats (PDF, STEP, DXF), improving data quality and reducing manual errors while increasing efficiency. PDM Studio’s interface is configurable, user-friendly, and continuously developed with regular updates and additional modules added in collaboration with users.
