Get Started
Global trade dynamics, including tariffs, are reshaping the manufacturing landscape. Businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of onshoring or nearshoring production to enhance supply chain resilience, reduce risks, and improve control over quality.

To succeed in this new environment, manufacturers need to embrace advanced digital manufacturing technologies that enable agility, efficiency, and optimization.

Manufacturing Challenges & How Designfusion Solves Them

Challenge 1: Inefficient Factory Layout & Production Bottlenecks

Challenge

Manufacturers often face issues with inefficient factory layouts that lead to excessive material handling, wasted time, and production bottlenecks.

Without a way to test different layouts or workflows, it becomes difficult to identify and fix these issues. This results in costly delays, suboptimal resource usage, and lower overall throughput, making it hard to scale operations or meet demand in a timely manner.

Challenge 2: CNC Machining Errors & Production Downtime

Challenge

CNC machining is highly precise, but even small errors in programming can result in significant issues such as machine breakdowns, wasted materials, and unplanned downtime.

Many manufacturers face difficulties ensuring that their G-code is error-free before it’s run on the shop floor, leading to costly mistakes and delays in production.

Furthermore, manual inspection of code and machine settings can be time-consuming, often leaving little time for quality control before production starts.

Challenge 3: Uncertainty in Product Performance & Structural Integrity

Challenge

When designing products, especially complex mechanical parts, manufacturers often struggle with predicting how those products will perform under real-world conditions.

Without the right simulation tools, businesses may have to rely on physical prototypes, which can be costly and time-consuming.

Moreover, errors in design or material selection might not be discovered until after production, resulting in costly recalls, damaged reputations, or failed product launches.

Our Solution

With tariffs driving up material costs, it’stime to investigate innovative solutions and improve company efficiency. Our simulationtools, make retooling seamless, allowing you to optimize production, reducewaste and stay ahead of the competition.
