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
Compare CAD ROOMS with other PDM and PLM platforms.
Every tool has strengths. Explore how CAD ROOMS compares — so you can choose the platform that helps your team move faster and collaborate better.
