DFM Consulting
Decisions made during the design phase of your product have massive downstream impact on cost, manufacturing lead time, and sustainability. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) consulting is the best way to prevent these costly mistakes from being made before you’ve even sent the first RFQ for your parts.
Centric Iterations provides detailed DFM reports for your CNC machined parts and assemblies. We analyze your part geometry, datum structures & tolerances, and materials, then deliver concrete, actionable feedback on what we predict will impact your part’s cost and manufacturability. We speak the language of the shop floor and the desk engineer, which uniquely positions us to work with both parties to find the ideal solution.
Common findings include over-toleranced features that require unnecessary setups, difficult- or impossible-to-machine part geometry, and difficult-to-cut materials that are not required for the part’s application.
We work with companies of all sizes, doing everything from single-piece prototype manufacturing all the way up to design for high-volume assembly.
