Design review innovation starts with a better tool
Design reviews have not kept pace with engineering innovation. The solution is simple, but it’s not easy.
✅ To improve product development, you need to innovate how you review designs – starting from square one.

How is CoLab different from other markup tools?
In the video, Liam discusses a few key capabilities that separate CoLab from other markup tools.
Shareable links to CAD
With CoLab, you can share a model with any reviewer – even if they don’t have a CAD license. Anyone you invite can open the model right from their email.
You can even send links to specific markups. So, when someone clicks the link, they’re taken to that exact spot on the model.
Discussion threads on the model
With CoLab, reviewers can discuss issues in the context of the model. You can add images, simulation results or any other references that help reviewers understand the why behind the markup.
You can tag in reviewers or assign markups to specific team members. This means everyone knows exactly what they should be working on for any given review.
Centralized documentation
All design markups, decisions and discussions are housed in one place. Teams no longer have to search through spreadsheets, PowerPoints and emails to find the rationale behind design decisions. It’s all right at your fingertips in CoLab.
How do I know if CoLab is right for me?
The easiest and fastest way to see if CoLab is right for your team is to schedule an intro call. We promise this is NOT your typical software vendor intro call. We want to make sure CoLab is the right choice for both parties.
So, here’s what you can expect:
- 15-minute intro call. All you want to know is: Is CoLab going to work for us? That’s all we want to know, too. You’ll tell us about your design process today and where your team struggles. Then, we’ll decide together if those problems are big enough that CoLab is worth your team’s time.
- 30-60 minute custom demo. If you decide CoLab is worth examining more closely, we’ll schedule a demo where you can see exactly how CoLab would work for your team.
- Workshop with your team. Your team will get its own CoLab Workspace and licenses for each team member. A CoLab team member will guide you through the software together. Your team will have free reign to explore the full CoLab experience.
