Digital manufacturing service providerProtolabs已经针对3D打印零件引入了可制造性设计（DFM）分析，提供了该公司声称对整个欧洲制造商的“安心”。
According to the company, it is a progressive step to the 3D printing offering because it offers additional assurance that a part is ideal for manufacturing before committing to production, all online in a few seconds. Andrea Landoni, Protolabs EMEA’s 3D Printing Product Manager said, “The Design for Manufacturability analysis supports our Application Engineers by reducing the number of projects they need to get involved in, allowing them to interact with more customers who require their support even faster.”
“增材制造是一项出色的技术，使工程师能够生产出以前难以实现的复杂零件，增加了Landoni。
什么was the motivation behind creating this novel technology?
Landoni接着说，Protolabs承认某些项目需要技术援助来解决复杂的问题。在这种情况下，其应用工程师仍然可以帮助克服这些障碍并加快流程。
DFM流程将大多数常见问题的时间实例无效，避免工程师完成订单，只是在几个小时后找到问题。尽管绝大多数问题都是固定的，但可能有时用户需要额外的帮助。
Although the technology offers superior flexibility, engineers must be aware of a few constraints, and the DFM analysis offers ideal solutions in seconds, claims the company. The system will immediately alert the user to any issues, which can be critical, like components that are too huge to be manufactured, or non-critical, such as dimensions that are near certain thresholds, like wall thickness, and might not form completely.
“We understand the importance of speed, but ensuring that parts are correct, high quality, and delivered rapidly is critical. Instant analysis means you can have all the advantages of additive manufacturing with even more certainty without sacrificing speed,” stated Landoni.
为什么公司选择推进DFM？
以前，总部位于旧金山的制造局Fictivadded 3D visualization to its injection moldingDFM system。根据Fictiv,其数字制造Ecosystem (DME) offers high-quality components at an unprecedented rate. The improved software, as per Fictiv, facilitates comprehensive automation of injection molding processes, enabling clients to expedite new product design while reducing manufacturing risks and delays. This enhanced system incorporates digital manufacturing issue tracking, part version control, and communication tools. 3D visualization also substantially improves the speed with which engineering teams can demand, evaluate, and respond to injection molding DFM input, as well as approve components for production.
Elsewhere, with its即时报价平台，总部位于中国的快速推广公司RapidDirect试图填充物理和数字生产系统之间的空隙，以快速原型制造和按需制造。RapidDirect的即时报价平台提供了一个对消费者友好的界面，DFM分析, and effective order management to address the problem areas of rapid prototyping, like effectiveness, pricing, lead times, and a lack of transparency in the manufacturing process. RapidDirect’s instant quote platform, in essence, provides customers with full access to a broad range of prototyping and on-demand manufacturing services, reducing the planning stage from days to less than a minute. Moreover, the platform allows users to download, oversee, and modify quotes in a single location, reducing turnaround times, increasing efficiency, and saving money.
