Git and SVN can store CAD revisions, but they do not automatically understand CAD geometry, assemblies, references, or engineering release workflows. This guide explains when general-purpose version control is enough and when a CAD-aware PDM system becomes more practical.
A neutral guide to choosing an Onshape PDM alternative for multi-CAD teams, and how a vendor-neutral cloud PDM layer handles mixed CAD data and supplier sharing.
CAD ROOMS CEO Christina Rebel argues in Design News that hardware engineering needs a hybrid-work revolution built on cloud PDM, browser-based CAD review, and supplier collaboration.
CAD ROOMS CEO Christina Rebel explains in DEVELOP3D how outdated engineering workflows create version-control, supplier-review, and licensing bottlenecks, and why cloud collaboration helps teams move faster.
