Mechanical and design engineers searching for a tool to embed manufacturability analysis and cost visibility within CAD workflows
About DFMPro
DFMPro is a design-for-manufacturability software suite that integrates into major CAD environments (e.g., Creo Parametric, SOLIDWORKS, NX, CATIA V5) and helps engineers detect and resolve manufacturability issues early in the design process. It applies real-time design checks and recommendations for manufacturing, assembly, geometry, and cost, thus reducing rework and optimizing tolerances before parts reach production. The tool also includes a cost add-on module that continuously estimates expenses as designs evolve, evaluating materials, features, geometry, and manufacturing regions, and offers suggestions for cost reduction, standardization, and component reuse. DFMPro supports multiple manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, casting, sheet metal, assembly) and industries (automotive, aerospace, medical devices, high-tech electronics).

Elysium DFM Solution
Elysium’s DFX Analyzer is a geometry-feature analysis tool for CAD models that automates the verification of design quality relative to manufacturability, machinability, and moldability. It recognizes geometry features directly from CAD data, even when feature histories are unavailable, then evaluates them against a library of preset check criteria (which users can customize) across domains like plastic parts, sheet metal, and assemblies. Typical checks include wall thickness, undercuts, sharp edges, draft angles, boss/rib constraints, hole placements, narrow widths near bends, and bend-hole proximity. By surfacing potential manufacturability issues early in the design phase, DFX Analyzer helps reduce rework, save engineering time, shorten lead times, and lower manufacturing costs. It supports integration into existing workflows through batch processing, PDM APIs, and plug-ins for major CAD platforms.

Altair SimSolid
By performing structural analyses on fully featured CAD assemblies within minutes, SimSolid is the game-changing simulation technology for designers, engineers, and analysts. It eliminates geometry preparation and meshing: the two most time-consuming, expertise-extensive and error-prone tasks performed in a conventional structural simulation.
Multiple design scenarios can be simulated quickly under real-life conditions. Early CAD models, in any common format, can be used. SimSolid tolerance of imprecise geometry means that, unlike CAD-embedded simulation tools, there is no need to simplify complex geometries before analyzing designs.
SimSolid supports all typical connections (bolt/nut, bonded, welds, rivets, sliding) and analysis of linear static, modal, thermal properties, along with more complex coupled, nonlinear, transient dynamic effects.
