The Saint John-based startup says Nvidia platforms will improve how engineers interpret simulation data.
CoLab Software is looking for the world's most valuable company to improve its AI-powered engineering collaboration tool.
St. John's startup joins NVIDIA Starter ProgramThe chip giant's free program gives startups access to the latest development tools, training, product network and investors.
Nvidia's simulation platforms ensure that “the right data gets to the right engineer at the right time.”
Founded in 2017 by CEO Adam Keating and CTO Jeremy Andrews, CoLab helps engineering firms enable multi-user cloud uploading and editing of 2D and 3D computer-aided design files. When engineering teams submit their projects for review, the feedback on the file is captured by CoLab so that the learnings can be applied throughout the company rather than being limited to any one individual's experience.
CoLab says engineering teams rely heavily on modeling, simulation and digital twins (virtual recreations of something physical) to predict how designs will perform before bringing them to life. Although digital testing is faster and cheaper than physical testing, someone still has to make sense of the data. CoLab believes Nvidia platforms can help do just that.

CoLab wants to apply Nvidia's modeling platforms to a workflow that ensures “the right data gets to the right engineer at the right time,” the company said. The company will also explore AI training and assessment to improve its AutoReview offering, which relies on design feedback collected from an engineering firm to annotate drawings and 3D models and identify errors and inconsistencies.
Last month, CoLab raised US$72 million ($101 million CAD). in Series C financing as the demand for her instruments skyrocketed. The company said at the time that AutoReview had amassed a waitlist of more than 47,000 engineers since launching in June.
CoLab was the first company from Atlantic Canada to accepted into the Y Combinator accelerator program.
