DFM & Live Manufacturing Feedback

Instant manufacturability checks powered by real-world data.

DigiFabster’s DFM (Design for Manufacturability) & Live Manufacturing Feedback system gives both you and your customers immediate insights into part feasibility. Powered by data science, this feature automatically evaluates uploaded CAD files, flags issues, and suggests improvements — before a quote is accepted or a job hits the floor.

It’s real-time quoting, smarter. Designed for machine shops, fabrication shops, and on-demand manufacturers who care about accuracy, efficiency, and reducing scrap.


🔧 What It Does

When a customer uploads a part file through your embedded online quote system, DigiFabster automatically:

  • Analyzes part geometry using advanced data models
  • Runs full manufacturability checks based on:
    • Machine envelopes
    • Wall thickness, small features, and tight radiuses
    • Undercuts, overhangs, and non-supported geometries
  • Highlights DFM issues directly in the interface
  • Provides real-time suggestions and best practices to resolve them

This isn’t just a red flag system — it’s a proactive manufacturing workflow assistant. Whether you’re doing CNC machining, metal fabrication, 3D printing (FDM, SLA, HP MJF, SLS, SLM), sheet metal bending, or laser cutting, DigiFabster ensures jobs don’t go downstream with hidden problems.


🏭 Problems This Solves

Problem: Jobs fail on the shop floor due to poor design
Solution: With live DFM feedback, your customers get instant warnings before submitting — avoiding misquotes, rejected parts, and machine downtime.

Problem: Time wasted reviewing problematic files manually
Solution: Our software automates the early checks, reducing the estimator’s workload and catching costly issues before the job is quoted.

Problem: Customers aren’t sure why their part failed
Solution: Transparent, easy-to-understand feedback improves customer experience — and reduces back-and-forth.


This feature plays a key role in ensuring your quoting and manufacturing automation systems are working together — making DigiFabster not just a quote software, but your shop’s most reliable production-side assistant.
