Engineers work in SolidWorks
Use the native add-in for check-in, check-out, version history, and revision control while keeping the design workflow familiar.
Remote engineering collaboration
Keep distributed SolidWorks teams aligned around the same design.
Sibe connects engineers, project managers, customers, suppliers, and reviewers with cloud version control and browser-based collaboration for 2D and 3D design data.
Collaboration without the email chain
Give every stakeholder the right view of the product definition.
Remote teams should not have to email STEP files, create screenshots, or guess which assembly a review refers to. Share the version you want reviewed and keep feedback connected to the work.
Reviewers use a browser
Project managers, customers, suppliers, and quality teams can inspect selected 2D and 3D designs without a SolidWorks license.
Access stays controlled
Share projects or specific versions with role-based permissions and reduce the risk of exposing more intellectual property than a partner needs.
Decisions stay findable
Keep comments, markups, review status, and release history tied to the design version so teams can see what was discussed and approved.
For modern engineering teams
Collaborate across locations without adding a VPN project.
Cloud-based access helps distributed teams review and release designs from the places where work actually happens, while the SolidWorks workflow remains connected to the controlled product data.
FAQ
Remote design collaboration questions
Can customers review a 3D design without SolidWorks?
A secure browser-based review can let external stakeholders inspect the selected design without installing SolidWorks, subject to the workspace permissions.
Can suppliers see only selected files?
Teams can share specific projects, files, or versions and use access controls so external partners see the information needed for their review.
How does collaboration stay tied to the right version?
Version control and browser reviews work together so feedback and decisions can be associated with the design version being reviewed.

What remote SolidWorks collaboration should preserve
In plain English: Remote collaboration works when the team shares the same controlled design context, not when engineers repeatedly export screenshots and STEP files. Sibe connects SolidWorks version control with browser-based views for the people who need to review or act on the product definition.
Review by attachment
Email chains and screenshots can separate feedback from the design version that prompted it.
Role-appropriate access
Engineers continue in SolidWorks while project managers, customers, suppliers, quality teams, and reviewers use selected browser views.
No VPN project
The product is positioned around cloud access for distributed work without requiring a customer-managed PDM server and separate VPN project.
Remote collaboration page- Engineering
- Keep version history, references, revisions, and check-in/check-out connected to the native workflow.
- Reviewers
- Inspect a selected 2D or 3D design without needing a SolidWorks license, subject to permissions.
- Decisions
- Keep comments, markups, status, and release history associated with the design version under review.
- Step 1. Choose a real project with a distributed reviewer or supplier dependency.
- Step 2. Share the selected version with only the role or partner that needs it.
- Step 3. Compare browser review, feedback capture, and release traceability with the current email workflow.
Workflow comparison
| Workflow need | Common manual approach | Sibe workflow to evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Review | Attachments and screenshots | Selected browser design view |
| Access | Broad file sharing or manual exports | Role-appropriate controlled access |
| Decision | Feedback detached from version | Comments and review history tied to the design |
