PLM Sync Integration & Cloud-Based 3D Rendering on AWS

Download Case Study
A global manufacturing company faced slow CAD rendering, version mismatches, and poor PLM synchronization. PROLIM deployed an AWS-based PLM Sync and 3D Rendering platform that enabled secure uploads, automated versioning, fast cloud rendering, and instant browser-based 3D collaboration across engineering, quality, and production teams.

  • Large CAD files frequently caused delays in rendering and sharing
  • No unified platform to sync PLM metadata with downstream manufacturing systems
  • Local workstations lacked GPU resources for rendering complex assemblies
  • Version mismatches between design, change request and engineering teams
  • Limited collaboration between global engineering and supplier teams

PROLIM built a cloud-native PLM Sync and 3D Visualization solution on AWS, ensuring faster rendering, secure sharing, and automated PLM integration:

  • AWS S3 + Transfer Accelerationto securely ingest and store large CAD files
  • AWS Lambdafor event-driven PLM sync, metadata extraction, and version management
  • AWS Glueto harmonize PLM BOM/BOP data and map it to manufacturing attributes
  • Amazon DynamoDBto store PLM metadata, change log, and version references
  • Amazon SQSto orchestrate rendering workflows
  • Amazon EC2 G4/G5 GPU Instancesfor high-speed CAD rendering and conversion to neutral formats
  • Amazon CloudFrontto deliver optimized 3D models globally
  • Amazon AppStream 2.0for browser-based 3D viewing without workstations
  • Amazon Cognito & IAMfor secure role-based access control

  • Real-time PLM metadata sync with change tracking
  • 3D rendering sped up from hours to minutes using GPU acceleration
  • Global teams access 3D assemblies through any browser
  • Eliminated workstation dependency, lowering software/hardware cost
  • Secure collaboration environment for suppliers & remote teams
  • Automated publishing of models for manufacturing, procurement, quality

  • 70% reductionin rendering and visualization time
  • Zero version mismatchbetween engineering and downstream teams
  • 40% improvementin engineering change turnaround time
  • 25% lower IT infrastructure costdue to shift from local workstations to AWS GPU instances
  • Enhanced supplier collaboration and faster design-to-manufacturing cycle

The AWS-powered PLM Sync and 3D Rendering solution enabled faster visualization, real-time version accuracy, and seamless global collaboration. With reduced IT costs and improved engineering efficiency, the company now operates on a more scalable, cloud-driven foundation for future digital transformation.
