PDXplorer™ software

Web site: www.PDXplorer.com

The PDXplorer PDX Viewer opens engineering design packages that conform to the IPC-257x standards for Product Data eXchange (PDX). Product lifecycle management (PLM) applications often export PDX packages to downstream manufacturing and support applications that can import product data.

PDXplorer offers a clean, straight-forward user interface, coupled with an adaptable data parsing engine. Since PDX files can occasionally have varying attribute values depending upon the IPC implementation, PDXplorer examines common format differences to determine how best to open the PDX file.

PDXplorer PDX Viewer is FREE - read PDX files at no cost, securely on your own computer.

PDX 1.0 compliant. Opens PDX files defined by product data exchange standards IPC-2571, IPC-2576, IPC-2578
Compatible with Windows 32-bit / 64-bit, including Windows 7 and Windows 10 (x86/x64)
No cloud/SaaS risk: Your intellectual property remains securely on your own computer — no third-party sharing, no waiting for large uploads to complete
Resilient DTD-driven data parsing engine abstracts the PDX data from the user presentation layer, and can read varying implementations of IPC-2571.DTD
Rich Windows® client built on Microsoft® .NET framework supports easy PDX package navigation

Acseni® PDM software

When first introduced in 1994, Acseni was the product data management (PDM) workhorse for smaller manufacturing companies. Its nominal system requirements and ground-breaking affordability made it a good choice for engineering departments with up to 10 users.

Although ASI no longer offers Acseni to new customers, we support existing customers via an upgrade program to our PDXpert PLM software. To preserve your product data investment while adding significant new capabilities, let us convert your system to PDXpert software. Please contact us for details.
