PLM

PLM — Product Lifecycle Management — is the spine of the digital thread: revisions, configurations, change orders, approvals and the audit trail from first sketch to end of life.

Classic PLM is a vault that other tools check files into. N23D inverts that: the lifecycle record is the native data, and CAD, CAM, CAE, ERP and CRM are views onto it. Nothing is checked in because nothing ever left.

Native connections that matter:

One versioned event per change, across geometry, toolpaths, analysis, BOM and customer commitments — no reconciliation.
Real impact analysis: see what a revision breaks downstream before approving it.
Audit and certification packages assemble from live evidence, not screenshots and PDFs.
Configurations stay valid because every domain reads the same definition.

One source of truth on a 100% Rust core. See the platform.

Jessica writes N23D’s weekly brief on metal AM and additive manufacturing. She’s warm, curious, and quietly sharp — happier digging into a process paper than talking about herself. When she’s not chasing binder-jet data or superalloy news, she’s usually making sure the story lands clearly for engineers and operators.
