Design reviews break down when knowledge is scattered.

Design review is where your best engineering decisions should happen. For most teams, it’s where the system breaks down.

Engineering expertise is spread across programs, sites, suppliers, and time zones.
Lessons learned are buried in old reviews, spreadsheets, slide decks, and inboxes.
Critical checks depend on who happens to be in the room.
Known issues are rediscovered after they already cost time and money.

Your most experienced engineers can’t be in every review.

CoLab gives every design review an expert first pass.

Comment example

AutoReview, CoLab’s AI Peer Checker, runs a first pass check

AutoReview checks CAD, drawings, standards, lessons learned, and prior reviews before formal SME review. Engineers stay in control while AutoReview highlights likely issues so reviewers can focus attention where it matters.

Review CAD and drawings in the browser with full engineering context.

Use CoLab to make CAD accessible in the browser, so anyone can explore the model and add feedback — without needing special tools or training. In live reviews, engineers see each other’s comments appear in real time, sparking better ideas and discussions.

Capture review feedback as structured, reusable engineering knowledge.

Feedback in CoLab is automatically saved with full design context and pulled into a structured database — so it’s easy to search, filter, and act on. You can also bring in data from PLM, ERP, and past reviews to create a single source of design knowledge across your tools.

Reuse lessons learned across programs, parts, and product lines.

With your product data and knowledge data together in one place for the first time, you can deploy agents that assist engineers at any phase of a program. CoLab’s first out-of-the-box agent finds similar designs and surfaces insights from past reviews on those designs, automating the traditional lessons learned process.

Connect CoLab to the engineering systems your team already uses.

CoLab integrates with major PLM systems including Windchill, Teamcenter, and 3DEXPERIENCE. Teams can review native CAD, drawings, PDFs, STEP files, and supplier feedback in one place while maintaining critical data associations.

Pull design context from PLM, review in CoLab, and preserve decisions back into your engineering record.

“It 100% improved the drawing quality and issue capture rate — no disputing that. Everything’s centralized, everyone’s in one place, and I can go in, fact-check, and ensure the right decisions are being made. It’s already way better than we’ve ever done before — and it’s only going to keep improving.”
