Geometric to showcase DFMPro ver 2.0 at SolidWorks World

Geometric Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Geometric Limited and an industry leader in developing advanced manufacturing software will showcase the upcoming releases of CAMWorks® and DFMPro at SolidWorks World 2009, at booth #605, in Orlando, Florida from February 8 to 11, 2009. These products are seamlessly integrated within the SolidWorks® platform, and enable intelligence and automation in design and manufacturing.

Version 2.0 of DFMPro for SolidWorks provides users with additional checks to validate the design for sheet metal parts resulting in stronger parts, and longer die and punch life of the sheet metal model. This version of the design for manufacturability tool supports DFM analysis on an assembly, allowing the user to analyze all the parts in an assembly in a single execution, thus saving time. DFMPro 2.0 generates 3D reports as eDrawings files for easier offline analysis, where problem areas are highlighted and corresponding analysis details are provided in the file itself. For a free trial version of DFMPro, please visit http://dfmpro.geometricglobal.com.

The team from Geometric will be making presentation at the event:
“Get your machined and sheet metal parts ready for manufacturing with DFMXpress and DFMPro” on Monday February 9 , at 1:30 p.m. in room # Swan 9/10.

I know that there are the DFA and DFM methodologies (DFA – Design for Assembly; DFM – Design for Manufacturing; very often called DFMA) which support the designer according to above mentioned rules.

The DFMPro approach supports to optimize manufacturing process and reduce relevant problems.

The DFA approach evaluates and helps to create the most efficient and the simplest design, from an assembly point of view.

Therefore, I have a question.
Does the company plans to create a program to DFA analysis integrated with SolidWorks?

Yes, for sure. DFA will be one of the capabilities in the near future. Next immediate priority is covering injection molding to increase manufacturing process coverage and then we'll take up DFA
If you are interested in specific functionalities related to DFA, please write to dfmpro.marketing@geometricglobal.com and we'll keep you informed on related development.
