On a global average, designers spend around 30% of their time in doing rework on product designs. Majority of the causes for this rework fall under the category of DFX (Design for X), which includes issues such as manufacturability, assembly, quality, serviceability, environment and so on. Typically, organizations carry out manual design reviews which are time consuming and error prone. Also, if the defect gets detected at later stage in the product development, the cost, time and e�ort required to correct it multiplies exponentially. Organizations look for ways and means to address these issues as early in the product development cycle as possible.

Geometric DFX addresses this need Geometric DFX is an automated design validation solution to address DFX challenges early

during the design phase. Geometric DFX is a standalone application to validate 3D CAD

parts and assemblies for various DFX issues. It supports �le formats from widely used CAD

platforms such as CATIA, NX, Creo Parametric, Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, modeling

kernels such as ACIS and Parasolid as well as neutral formats like STEP and IGES.

Powerful yet simpleGeometric DFX has a simple user interface which allows the user to run DFX checks and

generate reports in a few clicks. The ‘Out of the Box’ (OOTB) version comes prepackaged

with 100+ design rules based on global best practices which cover various downstream

issues related to DFX. The OOTB solution can be customized to add new rules meeting

organizational needs and can be deployed at an enterprise level.
