DISCUS DFM
Benefits
With DISCUS DFM, you'll save time and money by addressing manufacturing and quality engineering up-front with creation of the 3D model or before the start of manufacturing planning.
A more detailed listing of features and benefits appears below:
|
DISCUS DFM Feature |
Pertinent Business Benefit |
|---|---|
|
Validate features and characteristics against DFM criteria |
Ensures that part is producible and at the lowest cost |
|
Identifies DFM constraints violated for a specific part |
Reduces quality escapes that result from poorly defined manufacturing processes |
|
Recommends suitable notes and PMI to include on a DFM |
Reduces the time and labor to identify annotation to properly include on a DFM |
|
Identifies characteristic requirements for manufacturing processes |
Reduces time and labor to create routings and work instructions |
|
Identifies pertinent specifications to include for the part DFM |
Reduces the time and labor to identify specifications to call out on a DFM |
|
Evaluates relative cost versus process capabilities |
Reduces DFM rework efforts on new part DFMs – get it right the first time |
|
Identify specific producibility rules applied to the part |
Improves the understanding of which rules were applied to the part and the results from that |
|
Link Characteristics to specific mfg process questions |
Minimizes the data entry required to perform a producibility analysis |
|
Integrate with process capability databases |
Ensures that company-specific process capabilities are addressed |
|
Intelligent reuse of data and rules based on part families |
Reduces the time to sift through rules and other requirements that are not applicable to a part |
|
Define custom manufacturing process and part features |
Ensure that tool operates within company-specific environment |
|
Maintain your own rules for DFM constraints, process insights, etc. |
Enables engineers to maintain producibility rules without the effort from IT or computer specialist |
