Shaping the Future of CAD Integration in Engineering & Manufacturing
NX, Creo and CATIA PLM Integration — Managed, Configured, and Maintained
EMUG Tech delivers CAD-PLM integration services for all five major mechanical CAD platforms — Siemens NX (Teamcenter Managed Integration), PTC Creo (Windchill Workgroup Manager), Dassault CATIA V5 (3DEXPERIENCE native connector), SolidWorks (3DEXPERIENCE and Windchill connectors), and Solid Edge — for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and hi-tech engineering organizations across 20 countries.
PLM Integration Architects, CAD Administrators, VP Engineering, and Digital Transformation Leads engage EMUG Tech when CAD-PLM integration programs need engineering domain expertise — not just IT connector configuration. EMUG-configured NX Managed Integration, Windchill WGM, and CATIA connectors are built around your BOM structure, lifecycle policies, and naming conventions, not around the connector's default settings.
All NX, Creo, and CATIA integration programs follow the EMUG SYNC Framework — four phases covering Survey, Yield, Normalize, and Connect. SYNC addresses the most common CAD integration failure: connecting CAD to PLM without normalizing the CAD data first, resulting in version drift, BOM errors, and user abandonment within 90 days of go-live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers from EMUG Tech's CAD integration practice.
EMUG Tech delivers eight CAD integration service areas: Siemens NX integration with Teamcenter (Managed Integration and Active Workspace); PTC Creo integration with Windchill Workgroup Manager; CATIA V5 integration with 3DEXPERIENCE and legacy Teamcenter connectors; multi-CAD PLM integration for SolidWorks and Solid Edge; CAD-ERP integration connecting PLM attributes to SAP material master; CAD data migration between platforms; CAD standard customization and automation; and CAD-MES integration for shop floor data synchronization. All programs follow the EMUG SYNC Framework.
Teamcenter Managed Integration (TMI) is the native integration between Siemens NX CAD and Siemens Teamcenter PLM that allows NX designers to check in, check out, revise, and manage CAD files and BOMs directly from within the NX environment without switching to a separate PLM client. EMUG Tech configures TMI including item type mapping, lifecycle policy alignment, BOM view configuration, Active Workspace NX integration, visualization job configuration, and attribute mapping between NX CAD properties and Teamcenter item attributes — ensuring the integration matches your organization’s BOM governance and naming conventions.
Windchill Workgroup Manager (WGM) is PTC’s CAD integration connector that allows Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, NX, and Solid Edge users to manage CAD files within Windchill PDMLink from within their CAD environment. EMUG Tech configures WGM including workspace setup, cabinet and folder mapping, attribute mapping between CAD properties and Windchill WTPart attributes, lifecycle policy alignment, BOM management rules, and family table and multi-CAD file handling — for single-CAD and multi-CAD Windchill environments.
EMUG Tech configures CATIA V5 integration with 3DEXPERIENCE using the native CATIA V5 connector — enabling CATIA V5 designers to save directly to ENOVIA within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, manage revisions and lifecycles, participate in change management workflows, and access visualization from 3DEXPERIENCE dashboards. EMUG Tech also supports CATIA V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA migration programs for organizations transitioning from V5 legacy installations to the latest 3DEXPERIENCE platform release.
EMUG Tech configures multi-CAD PLM environments where NX, Creo, CATIA V5, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge all connect to the same Teamcenter, 3DEXPERIENCE, or Windchill PLM instance. Multi-CAD integration requires careful design of item type rules (to handle mixed-CAD BOM structures), CAD type discriminators, cross-CAD visualization (using JT or Neutral format), and conflict resolution policies when multiple CAD platforms reference the same assembly. EMUG Tech’s SYNC Framework normalizes these complexities before the integration goes live.
EMUG Tech migrates CAD data between PDM and PLM systems — from legacy Intralink to Windchill, from SmarTeam to Teamcenter, from file servers to 3DEXPERIENCE, or from one CAD platform to another. Migration methodology covers source data inventory, version and revision mapping, CAD file translation (using neutral formats or native translators), metadata cleansing, relationship reconstruction, test migration iterations, production cutover with rollback, and post-migration CAD integrity verification. 200+ migrations completed with zero data loss.
EMUG Tech delivers CAD-to-SAP integration as part of the PLM-SAP BRIDGE Framework — connecting CAD item attributes and BOM structures through PLM (Teamcenter or Windchill) to SAP material master and production BOM. Direct point-to-point CAD-to-SAP integration without PLM as an intermediary is not recommended for complex manufacturing BOMs due to the BOM governance and ECM requirements that PLM provides. EMUG Tech designs the full CAD → PLM → SAP integration chain to match your BOM lifecycle and release workflow.
NX, Creo, and CATIA integration services are delivered across 20 countries: Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic in Europe; India, Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Thailand in Asia-Pacific; UAE and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East; USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil in the Americas. Engineering delivery centers in Hyderabad, Germany, and Dubai with on-site CAD integration capability at client engineering centers globally.
