DFMPro helps focus on a holistic design approach and assists designers in utilizing the saved time to improve design, find alternate methods, etc. Using DFMPro along with other simulation tools and capturing learnings from the simulation as best practices helps reduce design iterations required for optimization.
To truly reduce engineering rework, a smart automated DFM tool should be implemented. Tools like DFMPro can easily automate the design for manufacturing guidelines within your CAD software and automatically review designs for downstream manufacturability, supplier capability, assembly, cost, quality etc. Designers can quickly ensure whether their designs can be easily manufactured, who is the best supplier to manufacture it, and whether if any design feature will increase the cost significantly.
