Why Choose MeCAD
Our platform delivers unique benefits that set it apart from generic project management tools and heavyweight PLM systems
Speed to Value
Unlike heavyweight PLM systems that take months to implement, MeCAD can be up and running in a few weeks, delivering immediate productivity gains without disrupting your existing workflows.
Typical implementation: few weeks vs. months for heavyweight PLMs
Cross-Discipline Focus
Unlike tools that specialize in just mechanical or just electrical design, MeCAD unifies all engineering disciplines in one central location, eliminating information silos and improving collaboration.
Supports mechanical, electrical, and software teams
Native Integration
Our plugins work directly inside your existing CAD tools, eliminating context switching and allowing engineers to stay in their preferred environment while still collaborating with the broader team.
5+ CAD integrations with zero switching cost
Lightweight Deployment
MeCAD is designed to complement your existing infrastructure without replacing it, whether that means integrating with your current PDM system or providing a complete solution for teams that don't have one yet.
Available as cloud or on-premises deployment
AI-Enhanced Insights
Our intelligent system doesn't just store files—it actively analyzes your project data to identify potential issues, dependencies, and opportunities that might otherwise be missed until it's too late.
Proactive issue detection across all documents
Simple Pricing Model
Unlike complex enterprise systems with confusing pricing tiers and hidden fees, MeCAD offers transparent, user-based pricing that scales with your team and includes all features without arbitrary limitations.
No per-module or per-feature pricing
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about MeCAD and how it can improve your engineering workflow
How does MeCAD integrate with our existing CAD software?
MeCAD provides native integration plugins for popular CAD software including SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Altium, KiCAD, and OrCAD. Our plugins appear directly in your CAD environment, allowing for seamless check-in/check-out and version control without switching applications.
Can MeCAD replace our current PDM/PLM system?
MeCAD is designed to complement rather than replace heavyweight PDM/PLM systems. It provides lightweight data management capabilities ideal for day-to-day engineering work, and can synchronize with enterprise PDM/PLM systems when designs are ready for formal release. For smaller teams without existing PDM, MeCAD can serve as your complete solution.
How does MeCAD help with cross-disciplinary collaboration?
MeCAD provides a unified workspace where mechanical, electrical, and software engineers can see each other's work in context. Engineers receive notifications when changes in one discipline affect their work, and the integrated dashboard shows the current status of all components regardless of discipline. This visibility significantly reduces coordination issues and speeds up development cycles.
What kind of onboarding support does MeCAD provide?
We offer comprehensive onboarding including setup assistance, integration with your existing tools, customization to match your workflows, and training sessions for your team. Our customer success team will work closely with you during implementation to ensure a smooth transition and maximize value from the platform.
Is MeCAD a cloud-based or on-premises solution?
MeCAD is available both as a secure cloud-based SaaS solution and as an on-premises installation for organizations with specific security requirements. Both versions offer the same features and capabilities, with the on-premises version providing additional control over your data and infrastructure.
