Catch manufacturing issues in design
You shouldn't need a failed build to find out a design can’t be manufactured. CoLab + ReviewAI helps engineering teams catch DFM issues earlier, apply past knowledge automatically, and run faster, more reliable DFM reviews.

Run supplier reviews in parallel
Supplier DFM reviews should take days, not weeks. With CoLab Portals, you securely share CAD (and any other project files) with multiple suppliers. Each supplier provides feedback without seeing the others’. And you gather the collective feedback in one master list. No more endless email threads or duplicate decks. Engineers compare supplier input side-by-side and act quickly on what matters most.
Surface past DFM feedback with AI
CoLab brings consistency to every DFM review with structured checklists and workflows. Then ReviewAI makes those reviews smarter over time. It scans new designs against past feedback to flag common issues like draft angle problems or tight tolerances. So instead of starting from scratch, every DFM review starts with your team’s collective knowledge applied.
Design-to-cost without the guesswork
CoLab helps you flag cost drivers early—before parts are sourced or specs are locked. Feedback from manufacturing, suppliers or sourcing is tagged, tracked, and tied to design decisions. So, teams reduce complexity and hit cost targets without the back-and-forth.

Autocheck designs for tooling readiness
Today, DFM is an afterthought. So, engineers miss mistakes that slow down tooling. ReviewAI runs automated checks against your team’s standard DFM checklists, and flags issues right on the model. Engineers who use ReviewAI catch manufacturability risks early, so they can focus on complex tradeoffs.
“We’ve already seen a huge improvement in our DFM turnaround just from having the tooling engineers, manufacturing teams, and suppliers aligned from the start.”
