it depends: if you try to establish what can do and can not do bench
mark of your vendor as second source, designer should. if you try to
push the boundary of design, knowing your PCB house is in the lead,
using new design rule, new material, e.g. Teflon instead FR5, 3/3
design, new solder mask, new process, the Manufacture should known
better how to sell itself... generate eye catching coupons (3M
usually do that for flex handed out in trade show) with your new
design rule, material datasheet, etc. as set for designer...
(usually, would ask what you can "NOT do", normally, nothing in hand
out, but you can talk in detail to get both side understand what is
in need or applicable after NDA assigned).
