A range of tools support the preventive optimization process and its various applications in industrial practice.
DFMA Software News
The DFMA software gets continuously improved - here you find a summary of the latest updates.
Manufacturing data profiles for 20+ countries
More than 200'000 new data points serve as a basis for decision-making, including hourly rates, machine, material, and tool costs, etc.
DFMA 2025A Release
More efficient part cost estimation thanks to more dynamic guidance through the most important cost drivers. Even greater cost transparency thanks to an individual additional cost library and much more.
DFMA® Methoden-Tools
DFA®
This is the part for product simplification, which systematizes the preventive reduction of product costs during the development process in order to achieve a competitive market price more quickly, as well as supporting teamwork. As a basic part of the DFMA process, it is used in over 80% of applications.
DFM®
Helps to determine the manufacturing process and part costs preventively, investigate alternative processes, find the most economical one, and thus optimize part costs and tooling costs at an early stage. It is primarily used to accelerate the determination of cost information and, in particular, cost disclosure. In particular, engineers provide support in the more systematic identification of cost drivers and find alternatives to optimize solutions.
DFMA special solution for electronics and PCBs
The flexibility of the DFMA method is also evident in its adaptability to specific processes, such as the optimization of electronics for the subsequent manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The path leads from the baseline to the methodological optimization of the functional blocks to the redesign and then to the finished product.
