What TurboPLM is

TurboPLM is product lifecycle management software for teams building physical products, covering parts, multi-level bills of materials, revisions, manufacturing processes and engineering change control. Parts move through In Work, In Review, Released and Obsolete states; released revisions are immutable, with that rule enforced server-side. Change requests and notices can track affected revisions, date or serial-number effectivity, stock dispositions and printable notices. The software records serial and lot genealogy, as-built versus as-designed reports, service repairs and as-maintained structures. Teams can require electronic signatures and assign separate read and write access for parts, documents, changes, projects and build units. Its browser viewer supports STEP, IGES, BREP, STL, glTF, OBJ and 3MF files. TurboPLM is open source under GNU AGPL v3 and can be started with Docker Compose; self-hosted deployments use PostgreSQL. The hosted free plan supports one member and up to 100 parts. Pro costs $10 a month, billed monthly, and includes unlimited members and parts.

Who it suits

TurboPLM suits hardware teams that need product structures, BOMs, revision control and engineering change workflows. Self-hosting is an option for teams that want to run the open-source software on their own hardware.
