Validate feasibility without burning cycles
When you’re making early tradeoffs, it’s easy to waste time on ideas that don’t pan out. With CoLab, experts call out potential problems and discuss issues right on the CAD. And while SMEs add context asynchronously, CoLab tracks everything in the background. Design options, risks, and tradeoffs are clearly documented from the start.
Get sourcing input before the spec is frozen
CoLab lets you bring procurement and suppliers into design reviews as soon as you're comparing options. With Portals, you can securely share CAD with multiple vendors and review their feedback in one place—so component risks and costs are visible before decisions are locked in.
Catch preventable issues before a test build
In fast-moving NPD cycles, it’s easy for known issues to slip through or get rediscovered too late. CoLab uses AI to surface relevant past feedback and similar designs—so your team can avoid repeat errors before they become costly rework. And by making it easier for quality, manufacturing, and compliance to participate early, CoLab helps you catch critical issues during design—not after a pilot build.
Automate routine checks to focus on gate-readiness
In early-stage design reviews, engineers need to focus on the big questions—like feasibility, performance, and tradeoffs. CoLab’s Autoreview helps by automatically checking for routine requirements, such as naming conventions, missing features, and material specs. So, engineers can stay focused on what really matters to pass the next gate check.
