AI-powered peer checks — so you can bring a cleaner design to your team

Before sharing a design with your cross‑functional team, run AutoReview to get an AI‑powered peer check on manufacturability and geometry issues. It analyzes features, interfaces, and accessibility based on your DFM standards, surfacing potential problems automatically. Design meetings stay focused on complex tradeoffs — not documented design rules

Better feedback, from more reviewers

Manufacturing, quality, and sourcing experts often miss reviews because they can’t attend meetings or they don’t have CAD access. With CoLab, you can share a secure link to a 3D model or workspace — no software installs required. Reviewers can explore independently and leave feedback directly on the model, so expertise from every function shapes the design earlier.

Communicate design intent clearly in seconds

You don’t need giant PowerPoint presentations to document design issues any more. In CoLab, you can pin comments directly to 3D geometry with saved view states for each comment — so reviewers see the design exactly as intended. Feedback stays visual, clear, and always tied to the right part of the model.

Automatic issue tracking

CoLab tracks design issues for you, as you complete reviews. Every comment or markup becomes a tracked issue with an owner, status, and priority. You can manage them right inside CoLab or sync with Jira for project-level visibility.

Compare versions, validate changes, and close out issues

Use CoLab to compare two versions of a file and highlight what’s changed — with overlays for PDFs and geometric comparison for 3D models. See changes to the file called out right next to the feedback that prompted the change, so you can confidently close out issues without anything slipping through the cracks.

Just in time lessons learned, powered by AI

When lessons learned stay buried in old folders, the same issues resurface. When you start a review, CoLab finds similar files from past programs, analyzes historical feedback, and automatically surfaces relevant lessons learned. So your team can make better decisions, while each review makes the next one smarter.

Make every iteration count.

See how teams at IMI, Komatsu, and Schneider Electric use CoLab to catch issues earlier, reduce rework, and make smarter decisions.
