Another significant advantage of SolidWorks PDM is its ability to handle the storage and management of all data related to a product, not just the CAD models. Alongside 3D models, PDM can store documents such as specifications, bills of materials (BOMs), and other critical project documentation. This centralized repository ensures that all stakeholders have access to the most current information, and provides a single source of truth that improves collaboration and decision-making throughout the development process.
