xLM Solutions’ 3DEXPERIENCE Non-CAD Import Tool simplifies the import of physical products, BOMs,  raw materials, and associated documents into 3DEXPERIENCE. This tool empowers users to create and classify items, manage revisions, build BOMs, and establish critical document associations with ease. This data can then be consumed using the Designed for Product Engineering Release (XEN) or the Product Architect role (PAU).

Whether you’re onboarding legacy data or managing external supplier information, the Non-CAD Import Tool accelerates data entry and ensures accuracy across your 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Solution

The Non-CAD Import Tool enables users to seamlessly bring non-CAD engineering items and raw materials into 3DEXPERIENCE while maintaining critical metadata, relationships, and classification. It supports efficient, controlled imports aligned with enterprise standards for document association, BOM structure, and product classification.

Features

• Intuitive user interface for simplified data input
• Import non-CAD engineering items (physical products) into 3DEXPERIENCE
• Define and assign custom attributes
• Initial revision bump i.e. start from higher revision, for example Rev D as the initial revision
• Build and release BOMs using Product Engineering Release (XEN) or Product Architect (PAU)
• Associate existing documents as attachments or specifications
• Update document attributes during import
• Classify engineering items within the platform
• Import raw materials and add them directly to BOMs
• Support for alternate engineering item associations
• Log file generation for import traceability

Benefits

• Automated and fast method to load data to 3DEXPERIENCE
• Reduces manual data entry and minimizes errors
• Accelerates onboarding of non-CAD items and legacy data
• Ensures consistency in product classification and BOM structure
• Improves traceability and documentation compliance
• Enables broader teams to contribute to data creation and import without needing CAD
• Enhances efficiency for organizations with mixed CAD/non-CAD environments
