CADdrive (see https://caddrive.org and https://caddrive.com) provides an open source solution for collaborative product design. In the most recent version our platform supports the following features:
- Member management for assigning access permissions on product data to our users (using a role-based access control paradigm),
- Version management for tracking the evolution of CAD models (currently in LDraw format or GLTF format, but extensible to other formats as well),
- Issue management for task specification and discussion among stakeholders, as well as assignment to project members, and
- Milestone management for scheduling task execution and tracking completion across the design project (using time boxing).
In issue discussions, you can refer to parts and assemblies of CAD models through Markdown references. The references help making the discussion more self-explanatory and easy to understand.
