The reasoning behind every design decision
Simulations, test results, calculations and reviews reveal how engineers reach decisions. Labs are looking for exactly that reasoning. NDA-bound and export-controlled work can stay out.

Records that often qualify
Which of these go in is your call, and skipping any of them is always fine.
- Calculations and BOMsHow engineers size parts, pick materials and check margins.
- CAD and revision historyHow parts and assemblies are modeled and changed over time.
- Design reviewsThe reasons a design changed, the debate and the outcome.
- Simulations and test dataPredicted performance set against what the bench actually showed.
The concern we hear most: client work under NDA
Plenty of engineering work is owned by clients or bound by NDA. Such material is reviewed in scoping and can be left out, and client names in the copy become placeholders.
Where your work involves defense, aerospace or other controlled programs, that technical data can be excluded completely. Deciding what is appropriate to include rests with you and your counsel.
How the copy is made
Everything starts under an NDA. You are free to withhold any project, product line or time period. You approve a sample before anything goes out, and your originals stay in your vault and file shares.
Short answers
What owners usually ask
Do we pay anything for this?
No. It is free for you, and requesting an estimate commits you to nothing.
Will anyone need access to our PDM?
No. No one asks for a login or a password.
Must we include CAD files?
No. Reviews, calculations and test records can be enough to start.
