TurboPLM
What it is
TurboPLM is product lifecycle management software for teams building physical products. It manages part masters, multi-level bills of materials, revisions, manufacturing processes, and engineering change control. Parts move through In Work, In Review, Released, and Obsolete states, with released revisions immutable on the server. Change requests and notices handle affected revisions, date or serial-number effectivity, stock dispositions, and printable notices. The system records serial and lot genealogy, as-built versus as-designed reports, service repairs, and as-maintained structures. Teams can assign electronic-signature requirements and separate read and write permissions for parts, documents, changes, projects, and build units. A browser viewer supports STEP, IGES, BREP, STL, glTF, OBJ, and 3MF. TurboPLM is open source under GNU AGPL v3, runs with Docker Compose, and uses PostgreSQL when self-hosted. Hosted Free allows one member and 100 parts; Pro costs $10 a month.
For and against
For
- Multi-level bills of materials
- Server-enforced immutable releases
- Serial and lot genealogy

- Open source GNU AGPL v3
Against
- Hosted Free limits one member
- Hosted Free limits 100 parts
- Self-hosted deployment requires your hardware
- Community support uses GitHub issues
The verdict
TurboPLM covers detailed product-structure, revision, traceability, and change-control work for physical-product teams. Its open-source self-hosted option and unlimited Pro plan contrast with the small limits on the hosted Free plan.
Who it suits
TurboPLM suits hardware teams that need product structure, BOM control, revisioning, traceability, and engineering-change workflows. Self-hosting is available for teams running their own hardware.
