Case Study: Mainspring Energy achieves 50% cost reduction and faster product development with CoLab Software

Mainspring Energy cuts design cycle time in half with CoLab

Mainspring Energy, a developer of linear generators for clean power, faced challenges in accelerating its product development speed. Their design review process was slow and inefficient, relying on screenshots, slide decks, and lengthy meetings for collaboration with internal teams and external suppliers. To address this, they implemented CoLab, a design review platform.

By adopting CoLab, Mainspring established a centralized and repeatable process for design collaboration. The solution enabled real-time feedback pinned directly to 3D models, streamlining communication and reducing the need for meetings. This resulted in a 50% cost reduction on a major product redesign, which was also completed in half the usual time. CoLab helped the team reduce design review time by 27%, cut costly prototype iterations, and scale their use of external contractors effectively.
