Engineering and product design
Your engineering files explain why each design changed
Your CAD, BOMs, design reviews and tests, with controlled data and client designs screened up front.
Start my estimateWhy engineering records matter
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.
Records that usually qualify
- CAD files and revisions. How parts and assemblies get modeled and toleranced.
- BOMs and calculation sheets. Sizing decisions and material choices.
- Test and simulation results. Predicted against measured.
- Design review notes. Points of debate and how each was settled.
The worry owners raise first: client work under 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 offer legal advice. During scoping, client-owned material is reviewed and can be left out.
If your work touches defense or aerospace programs, export-controlled technical data is flagged and excluded.
What you can hold back
- Client-owned designs. Excluded unless you and your counsel choose otherwise.
- Export-controlled data. Marked and kept out.
- Product lines you treat as core. Hold back any project or period.
How it works
You fill in the estimate form, and a specialist from License Your Data calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call under NDA. From your scope, License Your Data then builds a de-identified copy. First you approve a sample. After that, buyers can license the copy.
Owner FAQ
- Is there a fee?
- No. You are not charged anything.
- Do we still own our IP?
- Yes. What buyers license is a de-identified copy, while your originals remain yours, in your systems.
- Do we need to get files ready?
- No. Knowing your team's tools and roughly how long you have used them is enough. You will not be asked for an export.
- Will anyone access our PDM vault?
- No. No passwords are asked for or shared.
