DFM Analysis & Optimisation

Already have models or drawings? We identify practical ways to cut part costs, lead-times, and scrap levels, without compromising function. We target quick wins and prioritise actions you can implement immediately, with the option for us to update the CAD and drawings afterward.

What you get

• Concise report with improvements ranked by impact/effort

• Specific changes: part consolidation, alternate processes/materials, re-tolerancing to capability, datum/feature tweaks, standard hardware substitutions

• Supplier-ready notes and revised callouts for fast re-quoting

• Rough-order estimates for savings and lead-time reduction

Inputs needed
STEP files or DXFs/PDFs of current drawings, intended processes, quantities, functional constraints, and any known issues.

How we work
We review your design against manufacturing realities (tooling, setups, stock sizes, bend/radius standards, and tolerance stacks) and compile actionable changes. If you’d like us to implement them, we can provide you with a quote for CAD updates and reissuing of drawings.

What’s not included
Supplier sourcing, compliance certification, or physical testing. If deeper analysis is warranted (e.g., fatigue or thermal concerns), we’ll flag it and recommend the right next step or partner.

Outcome
Clear actions, tangible savings and minimal disruption, so you can move from “expensive to make” to “supplier-friendly” fast.
