Our take
The mechanical design process requires lots of back-and-forth between engineers, designers and business stakeholders who are giving and acting on feedback. Getting everybody on the same page is time-consuming and comes with lots of admin and flitting between different platforms, whilst important information slips between the cracks.
This is why CoLab has built a cloud-based platform for collaborative mechanical design and reviewing. It integrates into the existing stack of design and engineering teams to bring together all the teams involved in early-stage design. Basically, the platform pools data, feedback, tracking issues, emails, spreadsheets and notebooks into one collaborative space.
Ultimately, CoLab is a simple way to collaborate on concepts and projects at the planning stage, thus nipping in the bud any problems that could arise down the line. With an impressive series of investments behind it, the company plans to scale up its market push, explore the possibilities of AI and expand its team.
