New Automated DFM saves engineers valuable time and manufacturing costs by offering instant design feedback.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Oct 16, 2024 – Fictiv has announced the launch of its groundbreaking automated Design for Manufacturability (DFM) for injection molding—the industry’s first fully automated DFM solution for this process. This tool provides engineers with instant, actionable design feedback to enhance product quality and speed up time to market.

Combined with human expertise following automated DFM, it helps reduce the cycle of revisions, testing, and mold validation. This new solution streamlines processes minimizes costly delays, and optimizes injection molding tool designs from the outset.

Designing for injection molding poses unique challenges that can disrupt production timelines and delay product launches. Fictiv’s automated, data-driven insights allow engineers to fine-tune their designs before production begins, saving time and reducing manufacturing costs. By incorporating Fictiv’s automated DFM tools early in the design process, engineers can avoid bottlenecks in tooling, leading to faster time-to-market.

“Our automated DFM for injection molding is a game-changer for engineers,” said Dave Evans, CEO of Fictiv. “This innovation furthers our mission to make design feedback more accessible and seamless for engineers worldwide.”

Key features of the Automated Injection Molding DFM include:

Cameron Moore, general manager of regional operations, shared, “Having been involved with injection molding for over 25 years, I’ve seen the evolution of manufacturing software. Fictiv’s automated DFM tools are instant, free, and built to make the design process faster and smoother for our customers.”

Paul Vetter, lead design engineer at TransMed7, added, “Fictiv’s automated DFM for injection molding saves time by providing instant feedback on key issues like draft angles. It’s invaluable for new and experienced engineers looking for quick design validation.”
