CoLab

CoLab is a design review and collaboration platform for hardware engineering teams. It addresses the problem of slow, fragmented design reviews by making CAD files and drawings accessible in the browser, enabling real-time feedback during virtual reviews, and organizing review feedback into a structured database with full design context.

Key capabilities include AutoReview, an AI Peer Checker that annotates drawings and 3D models against internal standards and checklists, flags cross-sheet inconsistencies, and tracks findings as assignable issues. CoLab also offers Automatic Issue Tracking and AI Lessons Learned agents that surface insights from past reviews. The platform integrates with PLM systems such as Windchill, Teamcenter, and 3DXPERIENCE, and includes a Creo plugin for sharing work-in-progress models. It accepts over 30 file types.

CoLab is built for engineering teams in manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace, and defense, including those working with external suppliers. The Creo integration requires a CoLab license per user, indicating seat-based packaging. A demo is available for evaluation.
