HCL Adds Real-Time Analysis to Its Design-for-Manufacturing Software

HCL Technologies has released version 5.0 of its design-for-manufacturability solution, DFMPro. The new version supports the latest Creo Parametric version 4.0 and offers enhanced functionality for real-time analysis of product design. The enhancement was developed to provide quick and instant feedback on the manufacturability of CAD designs.


Design and Manufacturing in the Digital Age

Manufacturing productivity through design efficiency

As product designs get more complex, it needs a lot of tweaking to get the product right and reliable manufacturing processes to produce. It is preferred to have the manufacturing location close to the design centers to have a tight control. But then, the cost of production needs to be competitive at that location. So the focus then shifts to increasing productivity of manufacturing employees & processes.


DFMPro advances integration of design for manufacturing

(Featured in: SAE International online publication)

Delivering designs fast that cost the minimum while meeting targets for function, quality, and durability is what sets apart the expert engineer. The discipline of design for manufacturing (DFM) intends to aid engineers in doing just that.


Benefits of Using the Right Measurement Tool
