DFX Analyzer

Automatically recognize geometry features from 3D CAD models to support workflow efficiency

DFX Analyzer is a tool that automates conventional visual and manual processes through geometry feature analysis in CAD models.

Solving problems from geometry feature information

When facing challenges in manufacturing, solutions can vary. For instance, observing actual objects can help identify the root cause of an issue, and employing experience and expertise may overcome challenges by changing manufacturing methods, processes, materials, etc.

On the other hand, there is much to be learned and addressed from the geometric information within 3D CAD data that has not yet become a physical object.

For over 35 years, Elysium has been providing CAD data conversion technology.

Regardless of the CAD system used by the user, DFX Analyzer detects specific geometric features using mathematical expertise and official API from CAD system developers.

Moreover, DFX Analyzer presents identified geometry-related issues to users in an easily understandable manner, providing support for improving design quality.

Lineup

Elysium currently offers two plugins tailored to specific applications.

Plug-in for DFM

A tool that automatically verifies design quality related to manufacturing aspects such as productivity, processability, and moldability. It is used by customers in various industries such as automotive, electronics, and toys.

Plug-in for DFAS

A tool that detects geometries in 3D CAD data of automobiles that do not meet safety standards, supporting the realization of safe designs based on international regulations.

In addition, a product lineup aimed at automation in various areas, including assembly, part manufacturing cost calculation,

and feature recognition for NC path generation, is planned in the future.

Labor savings through automation

Automate tasks traditionally done visually or manually, allowing a focus on more value-added activities

Eliminate rework and shorten lead times

Prevent rework due to issues identified in later stages, leading to a reduction in lead times

Cost reduction through standardization

Reduce costs by eliminating complex processes and promoting standardization

Customer Stories

AISIN CORPORATION

Aisin has successfully built their own system to verify the manufacturability by tuning up DFM Studio on the check criteria, check logic, evaluation threshold, visualization of the evaluation result, etc. flexibly to automate the manufacturability check process maintaining the accuracy from the past manual check.
