Mumbai: Geometric (BSE: 532312, NSE: GEOMETRIC), a provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions and technologies, announced that their revolutionary Design for Manufacturability (DFM) product, DFMPro has achieved �Solution Partner� status from SolidWorks. Fully integrated with SolidWorks 3D CAD, DFMPro facilitates upstream manufacturability validation and identification of design areas that are difficult, expensive or impossible to manufacture.
Dr. Vinay Kulkarni, COO � Desktop Products & Technologies, Geometric said, "This recognition from SolidWorks reflects our commitment to customers to ensure greater efficiencies in product realization. DFMPro is our niche offering in the DFM space, which helps to get designs right the first time."
Used at the designing stage, this tool allows quick and in-depth examination of product manufacturability. DFMPro performs rule-based checks, which can predict manufacturing problems early in the designing stage. It considerably reduces the design review steps, thereby pushing new products into the manufacturing stage swiftly.
DFMXpress, a lighter version of DFMPro is shipped with every seat of SolidWorks 2008. Geometric recently announced the launch of DFMPro 2008 EX, the latest release of DFMPro, which permits organizations to build their own custom rule libraries easily and quickly.
