CAD Data Management & PLM Integration
Optimize your CAD workflows and file control to boost team efficiency and product innovation with Nora IPLM.

Advanced CAD Data Management & PLM Integration
At Nora IPLM, we understand that effective CAD data management, PDM functionality, and PLM integration are critical to efficient product development. That’s why we centralize CAD files, BOMs, lifecycle data, and revision control to improve visibility, collaboration, and team alignment. See how we make it all work.
Centralized CAD Data Management
Nora IPLM automatically captures, versions, and links CAD files with BOMs, change requests, and product data to support full traceability and reduce manual work across design cycles.
Multi-CAD Support
We support Multi-CAD environments, integrating design data from various CAD systems to enable unified collaboration by maintaining consistency in cross-platform product development.

CAD Management & PLM Integration Capabilities
Integrated CAD & PLM for End-to-End Efficiency
Our platform connects CAD data management with PLM processes through our “Desktop Services App”, creating a unified workflow from design to production for:
Consistent Data Flow: Keep your CAD and PLM data aligned throughout the product lifecycle.
Smarter Decision-Making: Use real-time insights to optimize design strategies and accelerate time to market.
Simplified Compliance: Maintain reports, track audit trails, and meet industry regulations with automated tracking.

Advanced Version Control
Tracking design changes is critical for accuracy and compliance. Thus, our platform automatically records every version, maintaining a complete revision history so teams can refer past revisions and iterations or revert to previous designs when needed.
Effortless Collaboration with Office 365 Integration
Collaboration drives innovation. Nora IPLM integrates with Office 365, allowing teams to work together more efficiently. Users can manage and share documents through our Desktop Services Application, transferring files between Office 365 and Nora IPLM without disruptions. This integration keeps your design and product development workflows connected and organized.

Enhance Product Development Efficiency with Nora IPLM's CAD Management Capabilities
Nora IPLM simplifies CAD management by centralizing design files, BOMs, and lifecycle data in one secure platform. Teams get real-time visibility, reduce errors, and streamline collaboration across product development. With Multi-CAD support, intelligent revision control, and direct PLM integration, Nora ensures consistency from design to delivery, without the inefficiencies of disconnected systems.
Bi-Directional Data Flow Between Your CAD Software and Nora IPLM Platform
Keep your design and BOM data in sync at all times. Changes in the CAD software or in Nora IPLM are automatically reflected across both systems, reducing manual updates and misalignment.
Hybrid-BOM Support
Manage mechanical, electrical, and software components in one unified BOM. CAD and non-CAD items are handled seamlessly within the platform, giving you a complete view of your product structure.
Revisioning and Version Control
Track every design change with automatic versioning. Each update is saved with a timestamp, user info, and optional version comments for full traceability.
Streamlined workflows that accelerate time to market
Automate and optimize workflows to reduce delays and speed up product launches.
Automatically Generated Additional (Derived) Formats
Generate STEP, IGES, PDF, and 3D PDF files automatically during check-in. These ready-to-share formats simplify collaboration with suppliers and cross-functional teams. Easily display them in the platform or download them.
Attribute Synchronization
Synchronize key attributes between your CAD software and Nora IPLM. Attributes like part numbers, materials, weight and revisions are kept consistent across the BOM and design files.
Lightweight Viewer Format
Nora automatically creates a CAD-independent format optimized for fast loading in the viewer. No need for native CAD tools to review or comment on designs.
Auto-Generated Thumbnails
Each CAD and Office 365 file generates a thumbnail preview upon check-in. This helps users quickly identify designs when browsing or searching the platform.
Concurrent Engineering Support
Allow multiple teams to work on assemblies or components at the same time. Nora handles version control and access rules to support parallel development without conflicts.
Discover our Desktop Services App for Intelligent CAD Management
Nora IPLM’s Desktop Services App connects with SolidWorks and CATIA to help you manage and sync CAD files directly from your desktop. Keep revisions accurate, link designs to product data, and collaborate without disrupting your workflow.
