Get your designs right the first time
March 6, 2008, 11 am EST

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) automation tools can help you to:
  • Reduce iterations between design and manufacturing by almost 60%
  • Shorten design to manufacturing       cycle time by close to 25%
  • Cut down manufacturing costs by almost 10%
  • Achieve “Design Anywhere and Manufacture Anywhere”
 
Join us for a webinar to learn how you can “get your design right, the first time” and succeed.
Design for Manufacturability or DFM is practiced in many of the organizations. Many of you may be having a set of DFM guidelines and checklists built over the years as organization specific best practices. But how many of you are sure that these DFM practices are fully leveraged and followed 100%? Manual intervention processes are error-prone and lead to inconsistent quality of output. Moreover, some best practices reside only with the limited team of experts and enforcing those throughout organization is difficult operational challenge.

Geometric has come out with innovative product, called DFMPro, that facilitates enforcing of best DFM practices using automated tool, across the organization and ensures consistency in design quality. DFMPro helps to identify areas of a design that are difficult, expensive or impossible to manufacture and can be easily customized to incorporate organization specific best DFM practices.

 
 
The various benefits of using DFMPro as automated tool to enforce DFM guidelines are:
 
Better Productivity
  • Decrease in lead-time by reducing design-manufacturing iterations
  • Automation of manufacturability review process
  • Improved Design Quality
    • Early prediction and prevention of manufacturing problems
    • Immediate and interactive feedback to designers
    • Reasons and suggestions to overcome manufacturability issues
  • Knowledge Capture
    • Scalable method for capturing of DFM knowledge base
    • Mechanism to capture knowledge of experts in reusable and enforceable format
 

During this session, we will demonstrate how to get your design right the first time by using DFMPro.It will include how to capture DFM practices in the form of rules, execute them in user environment and highlight design inconsistencies on actual design. After the presentation and demo, audience is invited to pose questions to the panel of DFM technology experts.
