Quantified Design Guidance for Smarter Product Innovation
Revolutionizing Design for Manufacturability with Real-Time Quantified Intelligence
Is your design team lacking the visibility they need in order to optimize designs, without endless loops, excessive churn and engineering change orders causing delays?
aPriori simulates the manufacturing process in seconds, quantifying Design for Manufacturability. The result is Design Guidance you can trust, based on real production equipment and best practices.
Is your design team blind to certain KPIs?
Manufacturing Processes Simulated
Empower engineers with "what-if" scenarios before prototyping.
Make informed decisions early in the design phase.
Precision Over Guesswork
Traditional DFM uses subjective ratings. aPriori quantifies precise cost, cycle time, and process impacts.
Accurate Costing
Cycle Time Analysis
Automated DFM Insights
Data Driven Design Decisions:
Crucial to Design for X
Comprehensive Manufacturing Intelligence
Upload any 3D CAD model and simulate the entire manufacturing process digitally. This allows you to evaluate any design criteria for suitability for your product. Go beyond weight and size constraints, also consider:
Design for Cost
Weight
Tooling and fixturing costs
Cycle time
Number of setups
Secondary Operations
Tolerances
Assembly Cost Optimization
Embodied Carbon
Material utilization
Machine requirements
And much more
Give your design team the visibility they need for more profitable, sustainable, manufacturable products.
Give your design team real-time intelligence around cost, CO₂e and manufacturability.
Design teams reduce late-stage engineering changes by identifying manufacturability issues upfront, slashing development cycles and avoiding costly delays.
CNH Industrial
Challenge: Design teams constantly face the pressure of redesigns to meet product cost targets.
Solution: PLM integration
Results: Design iterations that used to take CNH Design Engineers upwards of 40 hours of work now take only a few minutes in aPriori. The results are not only time savings, but parts can be half as expensive to produce.
Dana Corporation
Challenge: Increasing pressure to reduce production costs while maintaining quality and competitiveness.
Solution: CAD integration for early-stage analysis
Results: Cost analysis is now fully integrated as a key factor in product design and development. This approach enabled them to evaluate designs for manufacturability and cost efficiency early in the process, minimizing the need for costly iterations.
