One of the main benefits of SolidWorks PDM is its ability to ensure version control. In complex product development processes, different engineers and designers may work on various aspects of a project simultaneously. Without a robust version control system, there’s a high risk of confusion or errors when multiple versions of the same file exist. SolidWorks PDM ensures that only the most up-to-date version of any document or CAD file is accessible, helping teams avoid miscommunication and working on outdated files.
