Powerful Design for Manufacturing Software-DFMPro
Deliver High Quality Designs Faster at Lower Costs
The realization of digital twins through the digital thread is central to digital transformation in manufacturing, driving innovative business models and improving traditional practices. A Design for Manufacturability (DFM) strategy accelerates this transformation, enhancing engineering productivity and reducing costs.
DFMPro, a CAD-integrated software, identifies and resolves manufacturability issues early in the design phase, streamlining processes, optimizing geometric dimensions, and lowering product development costs, all while supporting sustainable product design and ensuring high-quality outcomes.
Why DFMPro
Early Visibility into Manufacturing & Cost with Design for Manufacturing Software
DFMPro is well integrated within CAD platforms like Creo ParametricTM (formerly Pro/E), SOLIDWORKS®, NXTM and CATIA V5TM which ensures that users are able to identify and rectify design for manufacturing checks within their own CAD platform.

HCL DFMPro for Creo Parametric 
Fully integrated with PTC Creo Parametric, DFMPro empowers design engineers with tools for parametric modeling and cost estimating tools that address manufacturability, assembly, and sustainability challenges during the early design stage.
Request DemoHCL DFMPro for NX 
DFMPro for NX™, a best-practice-driven DFM software, helps engineers evaluate their designs for manufacturability, assembly, and quality issues. The NX software integration ensures seamless workflows, reducing unnecessary design iterations and optimizing production cost equations.
Request DemoHCL DFMPro for SOLIDWORKS
DFMPro for SOLIDWORKS enables designers to check their designs for manufacturability within the SOLIDWORKS CAD platform. Leveraging digital transformation in manufacturing, it makes the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly validation process intuitive and cost-effective, allowing users to visualize results in a 3D environment.
Request DemoHCL DFMPro for CATIA V5 
This easy-to-use DFM solution is fully integrated with CATIA V5 and supports model-based definition for streamlined design processes. By identifying downstream manufacturing issues, DFMPro helps reduce cycle time and improves engineering productivity while addressing manufacturing price concerns.

DFMPro Delivers Results
Now 3D design data of our products are checked by the DFMPro in the design process. Our conventional checking process by designers was highly time-consuming. In contrast, theDFMPro checking is truly fast and reliable in searching the parts to be redesigned or corrected, and the checking criteria can be customized for the appropriate checking of our own products.
As a result, we successfully reduced 75% of the checking time of the wall thickness to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our design improvement before the release of drawings.”
