Design Poise audits the design for manufacturability, runs the tolerance math, selects the process, simplifies the assembly, and models the cost — before the design freezes and every change costs ten times more than it would have in CAD.
Manufacturability assessment of existing designs — part complexity, tooling feasibility, and process compatibility flagged before tooling commits and the cost of change goes vertical.
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing review, tolerance stack-up analysis, and fit verification — so the part fits the assembly and the assembly fits the spec.
Injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, casting, forging, additive — the right process matched to volume, unit cost target, and material constraints.
Part count reduction, assembly sequence optimization, and poka-yoke design — assembly time and error rate engineered down before production starts.
Should-cost modeling, supplier benchmarking, and value engineering — the math behind every supplier negotiation and every redesign decision.
Four phases that take a design engagement from manufacturability audit through tolerance analysis and design iteration to a supplier-ready package — with senior engineers on the math and the supplier conversation simulated before the supplier is involved.
Existing design audited against manufacturability criteria. Part-by-part assessment with issues registered, ranked by risk, and tied to specific design features.
GD&T review, tolerance stack-up analysis, and process recommendation with should-cost modeling for each viable manufacturing path.
Design refinements proposed, modeled, and validated against manufacturing constraints — with the supplier conversation simulated before the supplier is involved.
Manufacturing-ready package: drawings, tolerance specs, process recommendations, BOM, and DFM analysis report. The supplier gets what they need to quote and tool.
Start with a design review. Senior engineers on every engagement. Royalty retainer standard, full IP transfer at premium.
No junior delegation. No hourly billing. Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner with a Fortune 500 portfolio — Alienware, Dell, Viper Motorcycle, Load King, Starbucks.
