Recommendations
PLM and CAD technology is at a precipice of change. I think that Solidface Technology is right at the edge of that innovation. I look forward to seeing Solidface Technology becoming a leader in PLM tech because they are a hybrid CAD system. They have both a local save option as well as a cloud collaborative technology option. This is way more desirable from a company perspective because the company is in control of the intellectual property, not the CAD company, unlike many other "cloud based cad companies". Also, Solidface has a client based tech model verses a web browser based model. While a browser based model is supposed to be more independent, it can introduce incompatibilities based on browser changes to which web based source software is forced to adapt - these companies/sources don't always have fluid communication.
Solidface Technology is the wonderful realization of a galvanizing dream by authentic, dedicated and richly experienced CAD Developers who want to put the benefits of groundbreaking affordable technology at the core of their business without the gimmicks of a transient business.
Their 2D/3D solutions are at the vanguard of disruptive technologies and boldly challenge the conventional norms through the innovative use of real-time collaborative modules, user-friendly interface and easy adaptability to dynamic needs with significant budgetary relief.
They were recently recognized as one of the 'G-Startup Worldwide Tokyo Top 25', and I have no doubt that further accolades will keep on coming. This is the wave of the future!
Roberto Payaro CEO at Nortel - Sonepar
Excellent software, friendly, easy to use with online queries and fair cost per license.
Mike Scanlin CEO at Born To Sell
Big market, solid team, solid collaboration software for 2d & 3d design, with online AND offline access (unlike competitors), and at a cost per user that makes this a no brainer decision for their customers.
