Process screening · manufacturability · best-fit ranking · specialist hand-off
Drop in a part and MFGDFM screens it across machining, fabrication, additive, casting, molding, and forging — flagging manufacturability issues and ranking the processes that actually fit, before you've committed to any one of them. Pick the process, and it hands you straight into the specialist tool for the deeper check.

The problem
Whether a part should be machined, cast, printed, or fabricated usually comes down to whoever's in the room and what they've done before, not a screen of the part itself.
Machining tools want a machining part, casting tools want a casting part — none of them help when the real question is which process even makes sense.
By the time a manufacturability review happens, a process and often a supplier are already picked — too late to change course cheaply.
What you get
One file goes in, and it's checked against every process family Partimation supports — not run through six different tools with six different uploads.
Processes come back ranked by fit, each with the geometric or quantity reason it does or doesn't work — not a single opaque recommendation.
Broad manufacturability problems — features that are hard to make in any process, missing information, ambiguous requirements — surface here, at the point where they're still cheap to fix.
Pick a process and the part, its context, and the findings so far carry straight into MachDFM, FabDFM, AdditiveDFM, or Castimation — no re-uploading, no starting over.
How it works
Upload a 3D model or drawing. No process decision required first.
Machining, fabrication, additive, casting, molding, and forging get screened together, ranked by fit.
General manufacturability issues surface before you've locked in a process or a supplier.
Pick a process and hand off into the matching specialist tool with your part and findings carried over.
Pricing
Priced for a one-person design team and a multi-process manufacturer alike. Screening is unmetered — run as many parts as you like.
EUR prices exclude VAT, added at checkout where it applies. Early adopters keep their price as the suite grows.
Run it your way
Sign in and screen a part from any browser. We run the compute, ship the updates, and keep your data yours.
Defense, aerospace, and anyone under NDA can run the whole thing on their own hardware. Licenses and updates are signed files — it never phones home, so an air-gapped install stays air-gapped.
Where this fits
PartDFM is the file's first stop — geometry checks, feature extraction, and missing-information flags before anything else happens to it. Once the file checks out, MFGDFM ranks it against every process family Partimation supports. Same account, same part, one hand-off.
Once a part's ready, MFGDFM ranks it against:
