CAD and PLM services

In short

CAD and PLM services cover the work between a design request and released, reusable product data: design processes, CAD standards and automation, PDM and PLM, and AI that works in CAD and on design knowledge. We develop each solution with your team, tailored to your process, in Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA or AutoCAD.

Frequently asked questions

What do CAD and PLM services include?

They range from design process analysis, CAD standards and automation to PDM and PLM concepts, integration and migration, and increasingly AI applications in CAD and on engineering knowledge. Good providers start with the process and the data, not with a tool.

What is the difference between CAD automation and AI for CAD?

CAD automation executes fixed rules, for example deriving a drawing or exporting a BOM the same way every time. AI for CAD handles tasks that need interpretation, such as choosing views, explaining a failed check or preparing an edit in the model, and proposes results for an engineer to confirm.

How are engineering services billed: fixed price or day rate?

Both are common. Clearly scoped automation and AI projects suit fixed-price packages; consulting, PLM work, migrations and open-ended tasks are usually billed at day rates per engineer.
