Who it's for
Who it's for
Engineering teams working with multiple CAD tools who need a vendor-neutral PDM/PLM
Teams replacing SolidWorks PDM, 3DEXPERIENCE, or other costly / CAD-limited systems
Teams migrating from Google Drive, OneDrive, shared drives, or on-prem file servers to a more structured PDM/PLM workflow
Organizations that need to collaborate with external suppliers and manufacturers securely
Hardware startups, R&D teams, and other teams that need PLM-level capabilities without enterprise-grade complexity
Machine builders and industrial equipment makers; automotive suppliers and motorsport teams; aerospace, space and defence teams outside ITAR, GovCloud or US-persons-only programmes; robotics and automation teams; engineering consultancies and product design firms; and mechatronics teams

Enterprise Deployment & Access
Enterprise Deployment & Access
Rapid Onboarding — Cloud-native architecture lets teams deploy and onboard in days, not months, unlike legacy PLM systems with multi-month implementation cycles.
No infrastructure required — Fully accessible via modern web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) on any OS, plus a native Windows desktop app for heavy CAD workflows; there is no Mac desktop app, and Mac users work in the browser. No VPN, no on-prem servers, no IT burden.
Flexible hosting — Standard SaaS on AWS, with customer data in a dedicated AWS region. Regional or custom hosting, or your own storage bucket, can be set up for Enterprise customers. On-premise or air-gapped deployment is not off the shelf; it can be scoped as a custom Enterprise project.
Scalability & User Model — Per-seat model that scales from small teams of 5 to large multi-site engineering organizations.
Access Control — Granular role-based access control (RBAC) for internal teams and external suppliers, layered on top of SSO/SAML (Enterprise).

Supported CAD formats (view/open in Web & Desktop App)
Including but not limited to: SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM, SLDDRW), Inventor (IPT, IAM, IDW), Fusion 360, Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo/Pro-E, Rhino (3DM), AutoCAD (DWG, DXF), STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, 3MF, and additional formats. CAD ROOMS is CAD-agnostic — it works with any combination of CAD tools, unlike vendor-locked solutions tied to a single ecosystem.

Why CAD ROOMS (vs. alternatives)
Multi-CAD support — unlike SolidWorks PDM or Sibe (SolidWorks-only), CAD ROOMS works across all major CAD platforms
PDM + PLM in one platform — version control, ECO management, release workflows, and audit trails in a single tool, not separate products
Unlimited free guest viewers — share specific files with suppliers, manufacturers and clients, who view, measure and comment in the browser at no extra cost
Advanced CAD diffing — visually compare version changes across parts and assemblies, a feature most cloud PDMs lack
Manufacturing-ready — built-in supplier collaboration and release management for manufacturing handoffs
No vendor lock-in — CAD-agnostic by design, so teams can switch or combine CAD tools freely
