Unify Collaboration

‍

Our browser-based SaaS platform connects internal teams and external suppliers in one secure system—eliminating silos, reducing IT overhead, and streamlining collaboration from design to production.

‍

Manufacturers rely on a vast network of global suppliers with varying IT systems, software budgets, and compliance strategies. CR8 bridges these gaps, enabling faster workflows, stronger supply chain resilience, and more efficient product development.

‍

• Designed for Complex Digital Content: We support CAD, CAE, printed circuit board (PCB) designs, point clouds, HD video, lossless audio, non-destructive testing, cheminformatics, machine code and more.

‍

• Support Model-Based Engineering Initiatives: Ensure your suppliers have real-time access to the latest models and PMI without worrying about software licenses and IT requirements. Provide external vendors and partners with some of the same advanced functionality your internal teams use - at no extra cost.

‍

• Technical Data Packages: Share critical content with external vendors and partners—no special software or added cost required. Deliver mission-critical data across your supply chain securely and efficiently. With built-in version control, live BOM visibility, and contextual communication, CR8 ensures partners stay aligned—without email clutter or PDF vulnerabilities.

‍

• ‍Compare Content: Compare any supported format side-by-side, directly in the browser. From x-rays and point clouds, to videos and simulations - no extra software required.

‍

• Remote Review: Empower teams to deliver frame-accurate feedback from anywhere - without having to coordinate meetings for someone to share their screen. Eliminate delays and ensure compliant collaboration.

‍

• ‍Unified Communications: Mission-critical collaboration without downloads or plugins. CR8 embeds compliance into every meeting and chat - verifying attendee citizenship, enforcing access controls, and safeguarding sensitive IP in real time.

A Seamless Experience

‍

CR8 streamlines the Manufacturing product lifecycle, from design and iteration to inspection and sustainment, in a secure, browser-based solution. Supporting CAD, MBD, point clouds, non-destructive testing, and more. Our platform unifies internal teams and suppliers, eliminating silos, reducing software costs, and ensuring compliance without complex integrations.

‍

Design

‍

• Eliminate Interoperability Issues: Whether your models are created in Siemens NX, CATIA, Autodesk, or any other major CAD solution - we support it.

‍

• Designed for Complex Digital Content: We support CAD, CAE, printed circuit board (PCB) designs, point clouds, HD video, lossless audio, non-destructive testing, cheminformatics, machine code and more.

‍

• Manage Bill of Materials (EBOM): Create, track revisions, maintain a company-wide parts library, and identify part usage across assemblies.

‍

Iterate

‍

• Streamline CAE for All Teams: CR8 brings structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics simulations to the browser—no more waiting for screenshots from specialists or expensive licenses. Support for CAE files from Ansys, Siemens, Dassault, and OpenFOAM.

‍

• CNC Simulation: Simulate machine code directly in the browser with important stakeholders. Edit code, configure machine parameters, and more so all parties can see how decisions impact overall performance.

‍

• ‍Circuit Board Designs: CR8 streamlines PCB design for Manufacturing, enabling faster iterations from concept to production. Secure, real-time collaboration eliminates silos and screen-sharing, boosting efficiency and ensuring compliance for mission-critical systems.

‍

• Audio Analysis: Real-time audio collaboration for acoustics testing, customer support, and training. Audio processing is at the edge - directly on the device - ensuring compliance, security, and low latency.

‍

• Video Workflows: Collaborate on video from any source -additive machines, borescopes, drones, or high-speed cameras. CR8 powers R&D, diagnostics, defect analysis, and client demos with secure, compliant edge processing - no cloud transcoding required.

‍

• Remote Review: Empower teams to deliver frame-accurate feedback from anywhere - without having to coordinate meetings for someone to share their screen. Eliminate delays and ensure compliant collaboration.

‍

• ‍Unified Communications: Mission-critical collaboration without downloads or plugins. CR8 embeds compliance into every meeting and chat - verifying attendee citizenship, enforcing access controls, and safeguarding sensitive IP in real time.

‍

Inspect

‍

• ‍Model-Based Definition: By centralizing 3D models, PMI, and metadata in a secure, browser-based platform, we can streamline design-to-manufacturing. CR8 enables internal teams and suppliers to collaborate in real-time, and eliminate the need for additional software.

‍

• Point Clouds: Overlay point clouds onto CAD models for faster, precise inspections. Our platform streamlines quality control and supports industry-standard formats - reducing downtime, cutting license costs, and ensuring compliance while detecting critical deviations.

‍

• Non-Destructive Testing: Radiographic, microscopy, and ultrasonic inspections can be viewed in the platform - eliminating the need for separate software and reducing costs. With support for industry-standard NDT formats, CR8 enables precise defect detection, accelerates workflows, and ensures full compliance across teams.

‍

• Compare Content: Compare any supported format side-by-side, directly in the browser. From x-rays and point clouds, to videos and simulations - no extra software required.

‍

Support

‍

• Communicate in Context: CR8 enables real-time, in-context communication directly within 3D models, inspection data, and more—eliminating screenshots, email chains, and fragmented workflows. By centralizing collaboration in a secure, browser-based platform, CR8 improves visibility, accelerates decision-making, and boosts efficiency across product sustainment.

‍

• Microsoft Office™ Integration: Work seamlessly with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents directly in CR8 - no need to switch apps or repeatedly upload files. Use your current Microsoft Office Business licenses for real-time collaboration.
