3D mechanical CAD, PDM, design validation and communication software suite DFMPro
DFMPro is a revolutionary "Design For Manufacturing" product developed for designers to facilitate upstream manufacturability validation and identification of areas in design that are difficult, expensive, and impossible to manufacture. DFMPro is engineered for quick and in-depth examination of product manufacturability. It includes advanced design rules for manufacturing processes like milling, drilling, turning and sheet-metal fabrication. It also contains rules to process manufacturing tolerances specified using SolidWorks® Intelligent Feature Technology (SWIFTTM).
DFMPro enables faster, cost-effective and optimized product development, as well as greater in-depth examination of product manufacturability than was possible earlier using the most intensive iterative design processes. Tightly integrated with SolidWorks as an add-in, DFMPro allows designers to perform complete design checks and analysis for manufacturability directly from within SolidWorks sessions.
Benefits of DFMPro:
- Allows early prediction and prevention of production problems or manufacturing inefficiencies
- Assists the evolution of optimal design and product quality
- Facilitates automation of manufacturability review process
- Decreases lead-time by reducing backtracking and design iterations
- Provides scalable framework for manufacturability knowledge capture and reuse.
DFMPro can be customized to assist companies in automating in-house DFM guidelines and locking integrating followed best practices into their overall standard operating procedure to enable fully optimized workflows and optimal cost-effective product design processes.
