Keep your ERP. Keep your CAD.Now let everyone else see them.
Your suppliers, fabricators and customers have never had a login. iPart360 puts the right drawing, model, BOM and revision in front of each of them — on their phone, in their language, the moment it changes.

Where the supply chain loses time today
The information exists. It just isn't where the person who needs it is standing.
01
Information in silos
Drawings on one PC, the BOM in a spreadsheet, the PO in someone's inbox.
02
Wrong revision on the floor
No single controlled register — the shop builds from the copy it was last emailed.
03
Lost in translation
Instructions and questions stall between engineer, supplier and operator who don't share a language.
04
Waiting on office hours
A supplier's question at 6 pm queues until somebody is back at a desk.
05
Paper and PDF chases
Approvals, PPAP packs and change notices bounce around as attachments.
06
No live status
Nobody can say, right now, which stage of its life a part is actually in.
None of these is caused by a lack of information. They're caused by information living in six places, on one device, in one language, during office hours.
One central silo
One central place. Every user. 24/7.
iPart360 is the hub of the wheel — every department, supplier and customer connects to the same part record. There is one copy of the truth, it is available around the clock, and each person's view is scoped by their rights.
24 / 7Always onCloud-hosted. A question asked at 6 pm is answered from a phone, not queued for the morning.
1Source of truthOne part identity shared across drawings, 3D, BOM, purchase orders, quality and change records.
AnyDevice, any placePC at the desk, iPad on the shop floor, smartphone at the supplier — the same live data.

The 2027 Suite
Seven plug-in applications. One part identity.
Every app plugs into the iPart360 core and shares a single part identity across drawings, 3D models, bills of material and quality records. Start with one, plug in the next when you need it — nothing to migrate, nothing to re-key.

One cloud viewer, one BOM, one part identity — whichever CAD it came from. Add-ins for Inventor and SolidWorks export straight to an .ipart360 bundle.

The iPart range
Three products. One way of working.
iPart360 is the platform. iPartAEC brings the same single record to Revit projects, and iPartPDX is the free app that puts a supplier's work on their phone. Each is part of the 2027 Suite, and each one works on its own.
iPart360 Suite 2027
Seven apps on one part identity: Drawing Register, Lifecycle Viewer, iPart360 Viewer, PPAP, BuildBook, DraftMarker and Change Control.
From Revit design to approval to handover. A Revit plug-in, a web interface and a smart-device app, carrying project documents as one connected record.
All three are under construction and launching early 2027. Some apps are already in daily use: ask us what is ready now.
Where iPart360 fits
Not instead of your ERP. Everywhere your ERP can't reach.
iPart360 isn't a competitor to your engineering or production ERP — it's the layer that carries what your ERP already knows out to the people who never had a login: your suppliers. Local or overseas, on the shop floor or in another country entirely, in their own language.
No extra ERP seats to buy. No supplier onboarding onto systems they'll never fully use. Your source of truth stays exactly where it is — iPart360 just makes it reachable.
0extra ERP seats to buy — suppliers never log in to your ERP
15languages — a supplier reads the spec the way your engineers do
1source of truth — nothing to reconcile, nothing re-keyed
Anydevice — phone, tablet or PC; no VPN, no client install
15 languages, one registerEvery supplier reads the same part, revision and requirement in their own language.

Sits beside your ERP, not on top of it
Your engineering and production data stays authoritative in the systems you already run. iPart360 mirrors what's needed for procurement and manufacture — nothing more — out to the supply chain, so there's no second source of truth to reconcile.
Every supplier, in their own language
Available in 15 languages, so an overseas supplier reads specs, revisions and procurement requirements the way your own engineers do — not through a machine-translated PDF attachment.
Local and international, on any device
A supplier down the road and a supplier on the other side of the world get the same real-time part data, on a phone, tablet or computer — no VPN, no ERP client install, no waiting on a time-zone-delayed email.
Already running an ERP? Good — that's the point. iPart360 is what happens after the ERP, not instead of it.
Live 3D in the browser. Standard views, section, explode, measure and turntable.
Everything in context. vBOM, materials and PPAP beside the model — and with the Welding add-on, every bead carries its weld symbol and opens the WPS it was made to. Try Welding under the 3D pane above.
As-built status view. See exactly where each part is in its lifecycle, at a glance.
Who it's forEngineering, quality and sales — the demo the ERP can't match.
Core engine
iPart360 Viewer
One 3D CAD viewer — a standalone app and the embeddable engine every other iPart360 app loads.
Full 3D toolset. Explode, section/clip, measure, markup, isolate and where-used.
Generative vBOM. Structured BOM tree & node chart built from Inventor or a bundle.
Works fully offline. Three.js, loaders and viewer all inlined — no CDN, no internet.
Embeddable everywhere. The same engine powers Lifecycle, PPAP, BuildBook & Ordering.
Who it's forEngineers viewing & validating CAD; the reusable 3D component.
.ipart360
A self-contained bundle exported straight from Autodesk Inventor — geometry, structure, properties and drawings in one file.
Offline-first
No cloud dependency to open a model. Open it on the shop floor, on a laptop in a customer's boardroom, or on a site with no signal.
Welding module Add-on
Weld beads become data: each one carries its symbol, size, process and standard, projected onto the 3D model, and opens the Welding Procedure Specification it is made to — AS/NZS 1554.1, ISO 15609 or your own. The fabricator sees the WPS beside the part, in their language, on the floor.
Live
iPart360 PPAP
AIAG PPAP / FAI production-part-approval packs — the quality layer the ERP doesn't reach.
Six controlled forms. PSW, Control Plan, MSA / Gage R&R, Test Results, Process Flow & Index.
Standards-compliant. AIAG 4th edition, aligned to IATF 16949 & ISO 9001.
Auto-calc & auto-save. MSA maths computed live; every field saved and print-to-PDF.
Runs inside the Viewer. Mounts as a plugin with fit-to-width zoom and pop-out.
Who it's forQuality engineers producing & approving production-part packs.
In development
iPart360 BuildBook
Visual, navigable build manuals and vBOM flip-books — the customer-facing record of a build.
A visual bill of materials. Assembly → group → item tiers with clean, curved connectors.
360° views & search. Navigate the whole build, with where-used and part search.
Generated per build. One book per job, produced straight from the vBOM.
Made for the shop floor. Delivered to customers and production as the visual build record.
Who it's forCustomers & the shop floor; engineering / production authoring.

DraftMarker
Fast in-browser PDF & drawing markup with staged review — redline anything in seconds, measure it in real millimetres, and send it on as a flattened PDF.
Quick markup. Pen, cloud, arrow, text, sticky note, stamp and watermark — on drafting layers, in the browser, nothing to install.
Calibrated measurement. Reads the sheet size and scale from the title block, so a distance or area comes back in real millimetres.
Staged review workflow. Engineering → Fabrication → As-Built, mirroring the Drawing Register; every markup carries a status and a discussion thread.
Share by deep link. Save, back up, export to JSON or DXF, or email the flattened PDF — the recipient opens it on a phone.
Who it's forAnyone reviewing or redlining drawings quickly — engineers, fabricators, inspectors and suppliers.

Engineering Change Control
Every design change — requested, ordered, then noticed — under one controlled, reviewer-gated workflow. Raise a change straight from any drawing in the register, pre-filled with that part.
Reviewer-gated approvals. Nothing moves from ECR to ECO to ECN without a named approver.
Cancel — never delete. Every change record stays on the register, whatever happened to it.
Live Drawing Register picker. Affected drawings are chosen from the register, not typed.
Links to the Lifecycle Viewer. One change record, shared across the suite.
Who it's forEngineering managers, reviewers and anyone who has ever asked "which revision is on the floor?"

Where iPart360 sits
Compared with what most workshops use today
Most manufacturers run their engineering data on a shared drive, an ERP document module, or a full PDM/PLM platform. iPart360 sits between the two extremes: the control of a PLM, the setup time of a shared folder.

App by app
Each application compared with the tools it usually replaces.
Show Me
Watch every app running — on your own time
Show Me is a guided walkthrough of the whole suite with real screens, real drawings and the live Viewer — the same session we'd run in your boardroom. Access is by application: tell us who you are and we'll open a viewing window for you.
We know the points of friction that frustrate an engineering supply chain — the wrong revision on the floor, the PPAP pack that lives in a spreadsheet, the customer who can't open a CAD file. iPart360 exists to remove them.
Ultimate revision confidence
Instantly available files, controlled part numbering, and a fully documented change history on every drawing.
The quality layer the ERP doesn't reach
PPAP / FAI packs, staged markup and change control live beside the model — not in a folder nobody can find.
No CAD licence needed
Stakeholders view, section, explode and redline designs in the browser — without buying the application that created them.
Works offline
The Viewer and its bundles need no cloud to open. The register and change control sync when you're back online.
Role-scoped by design
Customers see their projects; suppliers see their parts; the shop floor sees the build. Enforced on the server, not hidden in the UI.
Autodesk Inventor native
Export a self-contained .ipart360 bundle straight from Inventor, with structure, properties and drawings intact.
Everyone sees what they are entitled to — nothing else
Rights are set per user, per customer and per project
The same login scopes the screen on every device. Rights live on the server, not on the device — so a phone and a PC show the same scoped view.

Set once. Enforced everywhere.
A supplier sees only their own purchase orders and the drawings on them. A customer sees only their own projects — never another customer's parts or prices.
Every action attributed
Every read, mark-up and approval is logged against the signed-in user with a timestamp — the evidence trail procurement and compliance ask for.
Configured for your organisation
The matrix above is illustrative. Rights are configured per organisation, per customer and per project when we set you up.
What changes, in practice
The same jobs, done once, in one place, by the person who is already standing there

Hand over to the customer
A folder of PDFs and a phone number.
A navigable BuildBook, on an iPad, linked to the live record.
The efficiency doesn't come from a faster version of the same process — it comes from doing each job once, at the point where the person is standing, without a translation or a re-key in between.
Who it's for
Built for a diverse, growing manufacturing community — and for the people who keep it accountable
Local manufacturers and SMEs
Enterprise-grade drawing, quality and change control without an ERP project — subscribe, sign in, start. Free tiers for viewing and mark-up lower the barrier for the smallest supplier.
A multicultural workforce
Operators, suppliers and drivers work in their own language. Instructions are understood the first time, and the reply comes back in yours.
Councils, procurement and compliance
Every drawing revision, approval and change is attributed to a named user with a timestamp — transparent, auditable records from the businesses you work with.
Built and supported locally
Designed, built and supported by Global Drawing Network in Queensland, with the people who use it every day on the floor of real fabrication shops.
Pricing
Start free. Grow when the suite earns it.
Start with the free apps. Then add the bundle that matches how your team works, or take the whole suite. Bundles are priced per seat: tell us your team size and which bundles you need and we will send a quote the same day.
iPart360 was created in 2018 by David Allix, an experienced draftsman and the founder of Global Drawing Network — a consultancy specialising in mechanical design, drafting, engineering and CAD customisation for manufacturers across Australia and Asia.
Every app in the suite was built to solve a problem we hit on a real job: a register because revisions went missing, a viewer because customers couldn't open Inventor, PPAP because the quality pack lived in six spreadsheets. We still use every one of them ourselves, every day.
Offices in Brisbane and Bangkok; engineers who have stood on the shop floor; and a suite that integrates natively with Autodesk Inventor.
