Turn your concepts into manufacturable, high-performance products with our specialised Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Additive Manufacturing services. We provide innovative, cost-effective solutions that bridge the gap between design and production.
By combining additive manufacturing tools with in-house DFM expertise, we develop detailed, functional designs optimised for efficiency, durability, and scalability.
What is Design for Manufacturing (DFM)?
Design for Manufacturing is the process of optimising a product so it can be produced efficiently, cost-effectively, and with consistent quality. It focuses on material selection, geometry, tolerances, and simplifying production steps.
Why is DFM important?
DFM reduces manufacturing costs, shortens lead times, improves product quality, and minimises risks such as warping, weak points, or assembly issues. It ensures a design can be produced reliably at scale.
Which manufacturing processes can you design for?
DFM can be tailored for a wide range of processes including 3D printing, CNC machining, injection moulding, vacuum casting, and low-volume manufacturing.
Can you review my existing design for manufacturability?
Yes. Existing CAD models can be evaluated to identify areas for improvement—such as overly complex features, thin walls, difficult-to-machine areas, or high-cost design choices.
Can DFM help reduce production costs?
Definitely. By simplifying geometries, choosing efficient materials, and reducing unnecessary features, DFM can significantly lower tooling, machining, and production costs.
