DFM Software Tools
Using powerful design software in the beginning stages of the production to maximize the efficiency of manufacturing
With the producibility analysis software in DISCUS DFM, you will save cost and resources by:
- Lessoning the work required to determine the producibility of parts
- Efficiently making the analysis of producibility a portion of the first article inspection process
- Verifying automatically the characteristics are producible
Increase your engineers’ production and quality with DISCUS DFM. You have the ability to easily and accurately update your design details, making sure that you manufacture your new part correctly, and that you will get it right the first time.
Design for Manufacturability; Streamlining the Process
This powerful software was designed specifically to meet demands and rigors of manufacturing design. You can easily add notes to designs and this software contains integrated GD&T and other symbols that are needed for a precise and professional detailed design. You are given a report that contains the information of the specific design producibility, preventing the loss of valuable time spent reworking engineering efforts. The software also generates a Bill of Characteristics for each part. This is the foundation for your FAI package and SPC. DISCUS also outlines your manufacturing process by defining the complete characteristic requirements for each process. In addition, DISCUS generates a Bill of Processes and a Bill of Documents, which are both specific to each part.
DFM Software Advantages
There are several important advantages to utilizing this software. First of all, DISCUS DFM software gets the design done the right way the first time around: it lessons or eliminates the amount of design rework time, a very valuable advantage. Secondly, you have the ability to customize and define your specific part features for your exact manufacturing process. How does this benefit you? You never have to worry that you will not be able to do what the software is telling you to do. It makes certain that your tool will be able to operate in your company-specific environment. Finally, your DISCUS DFM software will intelligently compare the DFM criteria to the part characteristics and features to ensure that you will be able to satisfactorily produce your part and also to check that you are making your part at the lowest cost to you.
