1. A server device, comprising:
a processor that executes computer-executable components stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory, wherein the computer-executable components comprise:
an access component that accesses a part design file provided by a client device, wherein the part design file comprises a computer-aided design (CAD) geometry of a part;
a search component that searches an historical database for a same or similar instance of the part, via performance of a multi-staged search, wherein the multi-staged search is based on a cryptographic hash of the part design file, is based on a spatial hash of the CAD geometry, and is based on an anonymized feature vector extracted from the CAD geometry; and
a result component that returns, to the client device and in response to the multi-staged search, an electronic notification indicating whether the same or similar instance of the part was identified.
