The virtual assistant for product manufacturing and production cost estimation

LeanDESIGNER is a software solution designed to support the design and review of 3D models, following the principles of design for manufacturing (DFM) and design to cost (DTC).

Integrated with the most popular 3D CAD systems, it identifies potential manufacturability issues and suggests necessary modifications to achieve the optimal configuration. LeanDESIGNER also provides production cost estimates during the design phase, enabling the optimization of model geometry to reduce product development costs by assigning a cost to each individual geometry.

The benefits of design for manufacturing and design to cost

Optimisation of 3D models at the design stage

  • Analyses the geometric characteristics of the 3D model;
  • Highlights potential bottlenecks in manufacturability and suggests ways to improve;
  • Reduces model revision time and production costs

Identification of potential savings opportunities

  • Provides an estimate of production costs directly from the 3D model (raw material and production processes);
  • Highlights the impact of each feature on the final cost;
  • Assesses the cost impact of design changes in real time.

Better design control

  • Quickly compare design alternatives, highlighting the difference in cost;
  • Allows you to choose the best design solution;
  • Compares analyses performed by monitoring geometric KPIs, providing real-time trends.

Distribution of knowledge on production processes

  • Supports the designer in the validation of the model;
  • Adds important technical production details in an intuitive way.

Manufacturing software workflow

The analysis runs in the background without interrupting your work, allowing you to continue modelling within CAD.

LeanDESIGNER highlights critical issues within CAD and suggests changes to be made to optimise the 3D model. It provides you with an estimate of production costs and helps you choose the raw material.

Correct potential model manufacturability issues and features with the greatest impact on costs.

Analyse the optimised 3D model with LeanDESIGNER and discover the benefits obtained. You are shown the trends in geometric KPIs and the cost savings achieved.
