SolidWorks PDM depends on local servers and IT configuration before teams can even begin.
CAD ROOMS is browser-based and ready in minutes — so engineers can upload, version, and collaborate without setup delays.

Vaults restrict real-time collaboration.
With CAD ROOMS, design reviews, approvals, and updates happen live — directly in the browser.
Links to files and views can be shared in Slack, Teams or Jira, so everyone stays aligned wherever they are.
Trust, built-in.
Security shouldn’t depend on servers or IT teams.
CAD ROOMS encrypts every project at rest and in transit, is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II attested, and offers custom hosting on Enterprise — without the maintenance of legacy infrastructure.
"For us—who work under tight deadlines, constant iterations, and countless hours—having a tool that keeps us connected and aligned makes an enormous difference."
