Product design and engineering
Your engineering files explain why each design changed
Your CAD, BOMs, design reviews and tests, with controlled data and client designs screened up front.
Check my estimateWhy the records count
A textbook teaches the principles. It seldom shows a working team moving a part from requirement to release, through the test that failed and the review that solved it.
Revision history, test reports and design reviews record why each change was made, not just what changed.
What usually counts
- CAD files and revisions. How your team models assemblies and sets tolerances.
- BOMs and calculation sheets. Sizing decisions and material choices.
- Test and simulation results. What the model said against what the test showed.
- Design review notes. The arguments and the final calls.
A common first question: client designs covered by NDA
Plenty of your work may be owned by clients or bound by an NDA. Your contracts decide whether any of it fits in scope, and reading them is for your counsel. We do not give legal advice. During scoping, client-owned material is reviewed and can be left out.
Where your work involves aerospace or defense programs, export-controlled technical data is flagged and removed.
Your options to hold back
- Client-owned designs. Out unless you and your counsel decide otherwise.
- Export-controlled data. Flagged, then removed.
- Product lines you treat as core. Exclude any project or time period.
How it works
After you send the estimate form, a License Your Data specialist calls within minutes and books a 15-minute call under NDA. License Your Data next makes a de-identified copy of your in-scope records. First you approve a sample. After that, buyers can license the copy.
Owners often ask
- Will anyone access our PDM vault?
- No. No passwords are asked for or shared.
- Is there anything to prepare?
- No prep at all. Just know which tools you work in and about since when, and expect no export requests.
- Do we keep our IP?
- Yes. What buyers license is a de-identified copy, while your originals remain yours, in your systems.
- Is there a fee?
- No. There is no cost to you.
