CoLab + NX
Send the active model straight from NX to a dedicated review environment — no manual STEP or JT export, no check-in required.
Review the design in NX or your browser
PLM integrations only help once a file is mature enough to check in. The NX plugin covers everything before that — work-in-progress models that need a second set of eyes today, not after the next Teamcenter release. One click from the NX ribbon pushes the active part or assembly into CoLab, where anyone can open and review it in the browser.
Teamcenter revisions stay in sync
Models opened in NX from a Teamcenter-managed session upload to CoLab with the correct item revision and iteration metadata. CoLab reflects the same state your PLM does — not a disconnected copy. Working in native, non-managed mode is fully supported too; those files simply upload as standalone parts.
The file types NX engineers actually work in
In NX, almost everything is a .prt — parts, assemblies, and drawings alike. The plugin handles all three. Parts upload as-is. Assemblies upload with every referenced component. Drawings are automatically converted to PDF on upload. PMI annotations come across with the model, whether the drawing lives in the same part file or a separate one.
