DFMA is used across the product development cycle — by design engineers simplifying parts, manufacturing engineers modeling processes, cost engineers building should-costs, and leaders tracking ROI. The same transparent cost model serves every function.
Each page shows how DFMA fits your workflow, what it surfaces for your decisions, and how to get started with a real part from your product.
Simplify your product structure before locking in cost. DFA analysis identifies every opportunity to eliminate parts, reduce assembly labor, and improve quality — while DFM models the cost impact of your geometry and process choices.
Model process alternatives and estimate assembly labor from basic part geometry — without waiting for vendor quotes. Give design teams quantified, data-backed feedback before production decisions lock in.
Build transparent, process-based should-costs from first principles. Negotiate with suppliers using driver-level breakdowns, explore process alternatives independently, and compare costs across 22 countries.
See the portfolio-level impact of DFMA: cost reduction at the design stage, compressed time-to-market, and protected margins. Model ROI across three savings levers backed by 170+ published case studies.
DFMA’s strength is that design, manufacturing, cost, and leadership all work from the same transparent cost model. When a design engineer simplifies a product, the cost engineer sees the should-cost update. When manufacturing models a process alternative, the savings flow through to the executive dashboard. No translation layer, no conflicting spreadsheets — one shared language of cost drivers, process physics, and quantified trade-offs.
Bring a real part and we’ll walk through a DFMA analysis together — you’ll see the cost breakdown, the simplification opportunities, and how the data maps to your workflow. No commitment required.
