Everything you design, finally under control

BoldDraw is the single source of truth for your parts, BOMs, revisions and engineering changes — configurable to your numbering and workflow, self-hosted, and running in minutes.

What BoldDraw does

BoldDraw is a self-hosted product lifecycle management platform for hardware and engineering teams. It keeps one clean source of truth for every part, revision, BOM and change — with a search-before-create gate that stops duplicate parts before they happen and a permanent audit trail behind every approval. It runs on your own server in minutes, scales to unlimited users on a flat price, and works fully air-gapped.

Features

What's inside BoldDraw

Never cut a duplicate part

A search-before-create gate forces everyone to look first, with fuzzy matching that surfaces near-identical parts — and it can’t be skipped, not even over the API.

Always ship the right revision

Revision control, check-in/check-out and configurable lifecycle states keep one source of truth, so the floor builds exactly what engineering released.

Controlled, traceable change

Route every change from issue to ECR to ECO through multi-approver sign-off, with required comments and a permanent, audit-ready history.

Your part numbers, your rules

Configure any numbering scheme — prefixes, categories, sequences — to match how you already work. Auto-assigned, never recycled, zero collisions.

The whole product, connected

Multi-level BOMs, instant where-used, documents and requirements all link back to the part, so you see the blast radius before you change anything.

CAD in the browser

Spin STEP, STL and GLB models in 3D, read native SolidWorks files, and auto-generate 2D drawings — no extra seat just to look.

Self-host in minutes

One Docker command on your own server — cloud, on-prem or fully air-gapped — with standard Postgres and Git underneath and no lock-in.

Who it's for

Built for teams like yours

Hardware and engineering teams outgrowing spreadsheets and shared drives

Teams on secure or air-gapped networks that can’t use cloud PLM

Why it stands out

Search-before-create gate that can’t be bypassed
Unlimited users on one flat price — no per-seat tax
