3. How can your products or services help make a SolidWorks user’s life easier?
As part of continuous project innovation and sustained research and development (R&D) efforts, BWIR's PLM team has developed various SolidWorks EPDM add-ins to cater to the manufacturing industry. Christened as “BWIR Pro+ Services for EPDM” it is a set of ready-to-use add-ins that can fix the most teething problems faced by EPDM users. Our Enterprise Product Data Management (EPDM) experts have identified six functions that address these challenges across the product development cycle through custom-built packages that can help many engineering organizations to unleash the complete potential of the Enterprise Product Data Management (EPDM) tool.
4. Why should SolidWorks World attendees visit your booth? What will be special or exciting?
In spite of advances in the product data management technology, the constant market pressures to decrease product development time and to utilize better the potential of product design engineers have led us to introduce EPDM add-ins that would increase productivity multi-fold.

- Remember the instance where you released the assembly documents for the next stage of your development cycle when someone was still updating a part model?
