Liquid Machines for SolidWorks

Liquid Machines Document Control for SolidWorks 2008 enables organizations to easily secure design intellectual property and control access to outdated versions with one powerful solution.

Persistent, Dynamic File Protection for Native SolidWorks 3D Models

Two of the most costly mistakes a manufacturing company can make include accidental misuse of out-of-date files and losing control of intellectual property. Both of which can result in extended time-to-market and lost competitive advantage. By efficiently controlling access to and usage of CAD files, companies can ensure designs remain protected at all times and that all team members use the proper files.

Only Liquid Machines delivers an integrated solution for SolidWorks 3D CAD software that encrypts CAD models and enforces in-use rights, like the ability to edit or print. This unique approach to rights management combines an intuitive interface with persistent protection – letting users work normally with native SolidWorks files.

Prevent accidental misuse of previous revisions by restricting access at anytime

Even if design files have been distributed around the globe, enterprises can control access to old versions or modify usage rights to any protected file, preventing costly design and manufacturing errors. Secured files are no longer susceptible to accidental or malicious misuse by authorized users, no matter where they are located.

Protect valuable design IP

As global product design management becomes a requirement to compete in the marketplace, manufacturers are being forced to share uncontrolled versions of their design IP with many users outside their organization. Liquid Machines allows companies to control how these designs are used and even change or revoke access as projects and business relationships evolve.
