Supporting Documentation (if available)

Sibe PDM is a cloud-native product data management platform built for mechanical engineering teams using SOLIDWORKS. It combines a native SOLIDWORKS add-in with a browser-based engineering workspace, giving design teams controlled CAD versioning, reference handling, release workflows, and secure collaboration without the infrastructure burden of traditional on-premise PDM.

For design engineers, Sibe works directly inside SOLIDWORKS, allowing users to check files in and out, manage versions, preserve part, assembly, and drawing references, and track file history without leaving the CAD environment. Teams can work on individual parts and subassemblies within larger assemblies, supporting concurrent design while reducing accidental overwrites, reference conflicts, and uncontrolled file duplication.

For engineering managers and end users, Sibe provides a cloud workspace where CAD data can be reviewed, shared, commented on, and released through controlled workflows. Designs can move from work-in-progress to review and approved release states, helping teams maintain traceability from engineering changes through manufacturing handoff.

The platform supports SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies, and drawings, along with common neutral formats such as STEP, STL, and OBJ. Browser-based viewing allows non-CAD stakeholders, suppliers, manufacturing partners, and customers to open and review shared files from PCs, Macs, tablets, or mobile devices without a SOLIDWORKS license. Teams can share entire projects, specific versions, or released revisions while managing roles, permissions, and download access to protect intellectual property.

Unlike legacy PDM systems, Sibe requires no local servers, VPNs, SQL database administration, or lengthy implementation project. This makes professional CAD data management accessible to small and mid-sized manufacturers, distributed engineering teams, and organizations that need fast deployment, secure external collaboration, and reliable design control.
