PLM (product lifecycle management) is often started by taking control of engineering processes and data to facilitate collaboration, sharing, and finding. For every size engineering team, Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter® provides best-in-class mechanical CAD (MCAD) management. Designers get access to real-time design data within their MCAD tool, such as check-in/check-out, maturity status, revision, where-used, what’s changed, project assignments, and more.
The MCAD management features of Teamcenter go beyond workgroup design management; they make it possible for individuals from different departments, locations, and points in your supply chain to collaborate closely to speed up the process of product creation. Regardless of the MCAD tool used, all design data is recorded, managed, and shared in the CAD-independent JT 3D format. You may handle data revisions, product configurations, and changes to configurations as well as rapidly locate multi-CAD designs. Access control and version management make sure that the correct individuals have access to the right information at the right time.
