The problem: CAD files separated from product records

Engineering designs live in CAD while product records live elsewhere. Teams lose time switching between them.

Engineers open CAD to check a component, then switch to another system to find its part record, supplier or change history. Each switch costs time and makes it easy to work from information that doesn't match.

What this demo shows

  1. Explore the GP40 gear pump assembly's parts and quantities.
  2. View 2D drawings and the interactive 3D view.
  3. Open the design in Creo.

Why it matters

Connecting CAD documents to product records means assemblies, parts and drawings can be reviewed where the rest of the product information lives. People who don't use CAD every day can still inspect the 3D model.

When it's time to edit, opening the design in Creo from the record keeps the engineering work and the product data tied together.

Read the transcript

The Uncountable PLM suite keeps your CAD assemblies, parts, and drawings together. Each CAD document holds its native Creo file, a preview, and its type. The assembly lists every component and how many it uses. Open the 3D model right in the browser. Isolate any component to inspect it on its own. Each part links to its 2D drawings with a preview one click away.

When it is time to edit, one click opens the assembly in Creo. Every part, every drawing, one PLM suite.

FAQs

Does Uncountable PLM integrate with CAD?

Yes. Each CAD document holds its native Creo file, a preview and its type, and assemblies list every component and quantity.

Can I view 3D models without CAD software?

Yes. Open the 3D model in the browser and isolate any component to inspect it.

Can I open the design in Creo?

Yes. One click opens the assembly in Creo when it's time to edit.
