At EngineeringDownloads, we’re always looking for ways to help researchers work more efficiently. That’s why we’re proud to announce our collaboration with Raw Data Library (RDL), a game-changing platform that’s solving one of academia’s biggest challenges – access to raw engineering research data.

The Problem Every Engineer Faces
How many hours have you spent

  • Recreating experiments because the original data wasn’t available?
  • Struggling to validate findings without access to raw datasets?
  • Delaying projects while collecting baseline data from scratch?

These frustrations are exactly why RDL exists – and why we at ED are excited to support their mission.

How RDL is Changing the Game
This innovative platform offers:

  1. A Data Marketplace for Engineers
    • Upload and monetize your hard-earned research data
    • Access specialized engineering datasets (FEA results, material tests, CFD data)
    • Find data in formats you use daily: CSV, Excel, MATLAB, Python, CAD files
  2. Smart Solutions for Modern Research
    • Bypass expensive, time-consuming data collection
    • Verify findings with original experimental data
    • Accelerate literature reviews with complete datasets
  3. Flexible Access Options
    • Open Access for community-driven projects
    • Licensed Access for proprietary research
    • Custom solutions for industry partners

Why This Matters for Your Work
The average engineering researcher spends 30% of their time collecting or recreating existing data. By making raw data accessible, RDL is helping reclaim this lost time for actual innovation.
