A faster, simpler alternative to SolidWorks PDM.

A faster, simpler alternative to SolidWorks PDM.

SolidWorks PDM ties innovation to hard drives.
CAD ROOMS is built for distributed teams who want instant access, real-time collaboration, and enterprise-grade control.

Built for speed.

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.

Collaboration without boundaries.

Vaults restrict real-time collaboration.
With CAD ROOMS, design reviews, approvals, and updates happen live — directly in the browser.

Integrations with Slack, Teams, and Jira keep everyone aligned, wherever they are.

Trust, built-in.

Security shouldn’t depend on servers or IT teams.

CAD ROOMS encrypts every project by default, supports ISO 27001 compliance, and gives full control over where data is hosted — 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."

MAD Formula
