DFMXpress is an upfront validation tool that allows engineers and designers to catch geometry that could be difficult, expensive or impossible to machine by conventional methods early in the design process when mistakes can easily be fixed.  DFMXpress can help you reduce time consuming consultations with manufacturing experts or running through tedious manufacturing check lists.   DFMXpress is fully integrated inside SolidWorks meaning that you can run manufacturing checks at any point during the design process and incorporate changes early in your designs.

Key Capabilities of DFMXpress

• Detection of common manufacturability issues for milling operations

• Detection of common manufacturability issues for turning operations

• Detection of common manufacturability issues for drilling operations

• Detection of common manufacturability issues for manufacturing tolerances

• Intuitive easy to use user interface

• Direct feedback with respect to problems detected and suggestions as to possible solutions

Key Benefits of DFMXpress

Improved Design Quality

• Early detection and prevention of potential manufacturing problems

• Facilitates upstream manufacturability validation

• Helps to identify areas of a design that are difficult, expensive or impossible to machine by conventional machining methods

Increase Productivity

• Automate the iterative design review process for manufacturability

• Decrease lead times by reducing backtracking and design iterations

• Immediate and interactive feedback to designers within SolidWorks

• Seamlessly integrated into SolidWorks
