GeomCaliper |
| DFMPro is an easy-to-use design for manufacturability (DFM) tool for designers and manufacturing engineers that is seamlessly integrated into leading CAD platforms like SolidWorks® and Pro/ENGINEER®. It facilitates upstream manufacturability validation and identification of areas of a design that are difficult, expensive or impossible to manufacture. |
|
| Features: |
- Easy to learn and use.
- Integrates seamlessly integrated with major CAD platforms.
- Performs common manufacturability checks related to machining ( milling, turning), sheet metal fabrication, manufacturing tolerance and part attribute.
- Provides reasons and suggestions on manufacturability issues.
- Ability to configure rules.
- Ability to generate analysis reports.
- Can be viewed with any standard internet browser.
- Customizable framework to support user defined manufacturability checks (licensed separately).
|
| Benefits: |
- Early detection and prevention of manufacturability problems thereby reducing overall cost of the product lifecycle.
- Decrease in ead-time by reducing backtracking and design iterations.
- Designers are free to focus on design goals as the tool takes charge of checking compatibility with manufacturing processes
Currently, DFMPro has two modules: DFMPro for Machining and DFMPro for Sheet Metal. Soon, a new module DFMPro for Injection Molding will be added
A lighter version of DFMPro - DFMXpress is available with every seat of SolidWorks 2008 onwards. |
