Digitizing DFM: Design for Manufacturability
Going from paper specs, emails, documents, and PowerPoint to a digitized DFM environment within Creo using DFMPro from HCL.
Legacy Design for Manufacturability (DFM) systems involved paper specs and hundreds of rules listed in multiple documents. This is a good way to document DFM rules, but not a good way to implement them. Legacy processes involved lots of offline documents, exchange of emails and documents, and consuming issues in PowerPoint. By digitizing our rules with DFMPro, we have moved the factory capabilities onto the designer’s desk, offering instant feedback within Creo.
