Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Review
Before you order parts, we check your design for features that raise cost, cause defects or are hard to make. You send a 3D model or drawings and tell us the process (CNC, sheet metal, molding or printing). We deliver a prioritized findings list, proposed geometry changes with reasons, and marked-up files you can act on. Two revision rounds are included.
Who it is for: Product companies and engineers about to release a part for production or quoting who want issues found early.
What's included
- ✓Review of 3D model and drawings against the chosen process
- ✓Prioritized findings list with reasons
- ✓Proposed geometry changes
- ✓Marked-up 3D or 2D files
- ✓Notes on cost-driving features
- ✓Two revision rounds
What you receive
- →Findings list (PDF)
- →Proposed change sketches or images
- →Marked-up 3D/2D files
Not included
- ·Physical prototypes or sample parts
- ·Updating your master CAD files (see CAD modeling services)
- ·Supplier selection or quoting
- ·Certification or compliance testing
