Comment & Assign Tasks Right in the Design

Leave comments, pins, and tasks right on the design. Everyone stays aligned, and reviews move more quickly with clear context and ownership.

Secure Handoffs
for Faster Fab Review

Send a locked build package with all essential files. Fabricators can freely view, analyze, and comment online, with questions linked to design objects. This collaboration cuts waste and speeds production.

Stay Ahead of Shortages with BOM Alerts

BOM alerts identify obsolescence, shortages, and price spikes, and suggest drop-in alternatives. Teams approve replacements quickly to protect cost and delivery commitments.
