Stop Paying Engineers To Be Document Clerks.
Schema reads your CAD files, generates compliant revision logs, BOM summaries, and change reports automatically — then routes them for approval. No PLM consultant. No manual transcription.
Windchill costs $100–$250/user/mo. Schema does more for less. ↓

Engineers Are Expensive. Manual Documentation Isn't Optional.
- 01
Revision logs by hand
Every sprint, engineers transcribe what changed from CAD into documents that already know what changed.
- 02
BOM summaries rebuilt from scratch
The data exists in the CAD file. The summary takes hours anyway.
- 03
Approval routing on email
Change requests sit in inboxes. Audit trails live in threads.
- 04
Legacy PLM or nothing
Windchill and ENOVIA require consultants to implement and six figures to license. Most teams can't afford either.
“The pain is real and quantified. Engineering knowledge trapped in CAD, drawings, and datasheets is inaccessible to standard tools — manual transcription creates delays, errors, and compliance risk.”
Every Document Your Engineers Dread Writing. Automated.
CAD File Parsing
Reads STEP, DXF, SolidWorks, and Fusion exports directly. No manual data entry, no format conversion.
Revision Log Generation
Automatically generates structured, compliant revision logs from diff analysis between CAD versions. In minutes, not hours.
BOM Summaries
Extracts bill-of-materials data and produces formatted summaries ready for procurement, manufacturing, or audit.
Design Change Reports
Generates ECN-formatted engineering change notices with full traceability from CAD change to approval.
Approval Routing
Routes documents through configurable approval chains. Every sign-off tracked, timestamped, and audit-ready.
Living Audit Trail
Builds a structured record of every design decision, change, and approval that compounds in value over time.
The document AI market reaches $27.62B by 2030. Schema is selling into a category where buyers are already paying — and winning with a tool that costs a fraction of incumbent PLM.

Nobody owns the middle — automated, AI-native documentation with approval routing, built for engineering teams that can't afford Windchill and don't want to hire a PLM consultant. That's Schema.
HOW IT WORKS
From CAD File to Compliant Document. In Minutes.
Connect Your CAD Exports
Upload STEP, DXF, SolidWorks, or Fusion files directly. Schema integrates with your existing exports — no PLM replacement, no IT project.
Schema Parses & Generates
Our AI engine reads the file, detects what changed, and generates structured revision logs, BOM summaries, and ECNs automatically. Compliant output, every time.
Route, Approve & Archive
Documents route through your configured approval chain. Every sign-off is timestamped. The audit trail builds itself.
PRICING
A Fraction of PLM Cost. A Fraction of the Complexity.
No six-figure implementations. No consultant fees. Just engineering documentation that runs itself.
