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).

DRVEN Parts™
DRVEN Parts™ helps OEMs turn complex engineering data into interactive 3D parts catalogs that make it faster and easier for dealers, technicians, and customers to identify and order the correct part.
Unlike standalone catalog software, DRVEN Parts™ is built on a connected product data foundation. It brings together CAD, BoMs, service information, manuals, and legacy data so every catalog reflects the latest product configuration. Users can explore assemblies in 3D, zoom, rotate, isolate components, view exploded diagrams, search by part or product, and move directly from identification to enquiry or purchase.
Catalogs can be published across dealer, distributor, technician, and customer portals, helping OEMs reduce ordering errors, shorten support calls, increase self-service, and capture more aftermarket revenue. As part of the DRVEN platform, Parts also connects seamlessly with interactive work instructions and operational product knowledge.

SOLIDWORKS MBD
SOLIDWORKS® Model-Based Definition (MBD) lets you define and organize 3D dimensions, tolerances, datums, notes, Bills of Material (BOMs), and other annotations; customize publishing templates for manufacturing, such as Part or Assembly Specifications, Request for Quote (RFQ), and Incoming Inspection Reports. You can also publish to widely accepted formats, such as eDrawings®, STEP 242, and 3D PDF for clear 3D communications. For easier adoptions of the model-based practices, several convenient capabilities have been included in every seat of SOLIDWORKS Standard. With SOLIDWORKS Standard, you can annotate a 3D part or assembly, organize the 3D definitions with annotation views and communicate in eDrawings all directly in 3D.
