Data mismanagement often starts with the simplest mistakes—outdated revisions, scattered files, and disjointed communication. Our 2-Minute Tech Tip on Understanding the 3DSpace App walks through how this core 3DEXPERIENCE application addresses those issues by serving as a centralized, permission-controlled environment for storing and organizing design data.
With 3DSpace, every file lives in a Collaborative Space that eliminates the need for a folder structure. Think of it as a shared digital bucket—flat in structure, but secure and organized through permissions and linked apps. CAD files (like those from SOLIDWORKS) are saved directly from the native software, while non-CAD files can simply be dragged into the Collaborative Space.

Additional apps like the Bookmark Editor help users organize and structure files for faster retrieval, while tools like Collaborative Lifecycle manage revision control and approval workflows. Together, these apps support a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)-style setup, giving teams a smarter way to collaborate without sacrificing control.
