Aras EPLM is the best PLM software for global businesses that rely on SolidWorks and have complex products and processes. Built on top of SolidWorks EPDM, Aras EPLM is a full-featured PLM suite that extends EPDM with a Web-based interface and business processes for cross-functional collaboration throughout the company and across the supply chain.

“We understand that SolidWorks users with complex global design environments need better multi-CAD capabilities for faster performance and greater scalability than they’ve been able to get from the other major PLM systems,” said John Sperling, Vice President of Product Management at Aras. “By unifying our CAD data model across mechanical and electronics and enhancing our APIs, we are delivering a new level of multi-CAD management performance in this release of Aras EPLM.”

Best In Class Multi-CAD Performance
A 10X increase in speed and 10X reduction in memory make Aras EPLM the fastest PLM platform for Multi-CAD check-in / check-out. The check in / out process for entire CAD assembly structures is automated and streamlined with new check-in / check-out manager capabilities.
