The creation of a CAD model of a sub-assembly requires an investment based on know-how, and often results in an innovative solution. Diffusing this investment from the company, by transferring models to its customer or partner and, more generally, outside the company, can lead to spoliation of this intellectual property, which needs to be protected.
