Smart design gives easier production and lower cost
We review your CAD files and propose concrete changes that make parts faster to produce and easier to assemble, without compromising function. Typical steps are simplifying geometry, better sheet utilisation, more appropriate tolerances and smarter weld and mounting points.
What we deliver
Practical recommendations for milling, laser cutting, forming, welding and assembly. We prioritise the steps that have the biggest impact on quality, cost and lead time.
Why choose Alustrax
Faster to series
Shorter path from prototype to stable series production with fewer iterations.
Lower production cost
Optimised geometry gives fewer operations, less material waste and easier assembly.
Better fit
Correct tolerances and well-thought-out mounting points give fewer adjustments in assembly.
Frequently asked questions
Design for Manufacturing is a process where we review your design and propose changes that make parts easier, faster and cheaper to produce, with no compromise on function.
The earlier, the better. Ideally before drawings are finalised. Then we can propose changes that save both time and cost in production.
DFM sparring is part of our quoting process for larger projects. For dedicated consulting outside of projects we agree scope and price directly.
Typically 10 to 30 percent lower production cost, shorter lead time and fewer quality deviations. The effect depends on complexity and volume.
Fast response. Clear answers.
