When you don’t give people a chance to provide design feedback — or when their feedback slips through the cracks — design quality suffers. CoLab makes it easy for anyone to review CAD and automates issue tracking, so that engineering teams can design better products faster.
Our founders are mechanical engineers who've worked on innovative technology ranging from advanced medical devices and electric cars to breakthrough Hyperloop pod design and billion-dollar energy projects. But across the industry, no matter what tech they worked on, one thing was always the same: every team was stuck using archaic processes for working together—and it was slowing them down.
So, instead of wishing and waiting for a better way, Adam and Jeremy parked their design careers... and started building the tools engineers deserve.
Your most critical product decisions are made every day in design reviews. When those reviews are ineffective (or when they get skipped), you risk locking in bad decisions that hurt quality, gross margins, and customer trust.
We surveyed 250 engineering leaders and they told us 43% of design feedback slips through the cracks.That’s a lot of chances for an error, quality problem, or safety critical issue to make it to production.
Most teams generate feedback in long, hard to schedule meetings, then spend hours tracking issues in spreadsheets and emails.With CoLab, you can document simple issues asynchronously, then use your meetings to solve tough technical problems. We’ll take care of documentation and tracking for you automatically, as you do the work.
As your team uses CoLab and more data gets collected, ReviewAI starts to surface lessons learned automatically. Eventually, you can even ask ReviewAI to complete simple design checks for you. So, your team can do more high-impact engineering work.
CoLab integrates with major PLM systems, including Windchill, Teamcenter, and 3DXPERIENCE. You can share CAD directly to CoLab from your PLM, maintaining critical data associations. Because CoLab accepts 30+ file types, it’s easy to review native CAD, even if you’re working with a supplier or customer that uses a different CAD tool.
