Structured Manufacturing Feedback
Design for Manufacture
Capture DFM feedback early in the product development cycle. Structured reviews with version control ensure manufacturing concerns are documented and addressed before tooling commitment.
Key Features
Catch issues before tooling
The cost of a design change increases tenfold after tooling commitment. Structured DFM reviews catch manufacturing issues while they're still cheap to fix.
Structured DFM review forms
Purpose-built F029 form with guided sections covering material selection, process feasibility, tooling requirements, and assembly considerations.
Version-controlled feedback
Every revision of the DFM review is versioned with timestamps and user attribution. Track how feedback evolves across design iterations.
Drawing markup support
Upload drawings and attach annotations directly to specific areas. Visual feedback that leaves no room for misinterpretation.
Risk categorisation
Categorise and prioritise manufacturing risks by severity and likelihood. Focus engineering effort where it matters most.
PPAP package integration
DFM reviews feed directly into the PPAP package. No duplicate data entry — complete forms once and reference them across modules.
Collaborative workflow
Multiple reviewers can contribute feedback to the same DFM review. Assign actions, track resolution, and close out items systematically.
Workflow
DFM review in four steps
Upload Design
Upload engineering drawings, 3D models, and specifications for manufacturing review. All file types supported.
Structured Review
Complete the DFM checklist covering material, process, tooling, and assembly concerns. Guided inputs ensure nothing is missed.
Feedback & Risks
Categorise and prioritise manufacturing risks with clear recommendations. Attach markup to specific drawing features.
Track Resolution
Assign actions to responsible engineers, track progress, and close out items. Full version control across every design iteration.
