PDM (Product Data Management)
Product data management, also referred to as PDM, is the term used to describe the managing and controlling of design across the three major product stages: concept design, detail design, and production. PDM is used to organize product information, track any revisions, work together with other designers, manage any changes, create bills of materials (BOMs), and more.
