Key Features & Benefits
Looking for something beyond standard manufacturability checks? MfgMate Pro offers a configurable manufacturing CAD plugin that is fully customizable and adaptable to your company’s unique standards. From CAD workflow optimization to manufacturability analytics plugins, we provide tailored solutions that bring a personalized touch to your engineering workflow.
How It Works?
Install MfgMate Pro within your NX software environment to enable design for manufacturability checks.
Load the 3D model that you want to analyze for manufacturability issues.
From the toolbar, select the appropriate menu option based on the type of check you need to perform.
Run the check and visualize the results dynamically to identify potential issues directly on the model.
Generate detailed HTML reports summarizing the findings for documentation and review.
Carefully review the results, identify areas for optimization, and implement the necessary improvements to enhance manufacturability.
