Partimation

Geometry checks · feature extraction · missing-info flags · likely process

Know what you're actually holding — before you've done anything with it.

Drop in a part — a 3D model or a 2D drawing — and PartDFM runs the geometry checks, pulls out the features, and tells you what's missing or ambiguous before you spend an afternoon quoting from a file that was never going to work. Get a plain DFM summary and the processes it's likely to fit, then move straight into the right specialist tool.

The problem

Every file gets quoted before anyone checks what's actually in it.

The file goes quiet on you

Upload a model or a drawing and most tools give you nothing back until deep into a quote — you want to know what you're holding the moment it lands, not after it's already routed somewhere.

Incomplete files surface late

A missing tolerance, an unreadable note, a model that doesn't match its own drawing — these usually turn up halfway through a quote or a program, not in the first ten seconds.

Every tool assumes you've already done the prep

Specialist tools want clean, complete geometry and a decided process — nobody checks the file itself first, so the gap becomes someone's afternoon.

What you get

The first ten seconds a file gets, done right.

One upload, any file

Drop a model or a drawing, same intake

STL and STEP geometry or a DXF/PDF drawing go through the same first look — no separate tool depending on what you happened to receive.

Features, not just a mesh

Holes, bores, flats, chamfers, fillets, bosses — extracted and named

The same feature detection the specialist modules run internally comes back to you first, each feature carrying a confidence and where it came from — not a guess dressed up as certainty.

Gaps named before they cost you

Missing tolerances and model-vs-drawing conflicts, flagged

When a drawing and a model both exist, PartDFM reconciles them and flags where they disagree or where information is simply missing — at the point where it's still a quick fix, not a rerun.

A real hand-off, not a dead end

See the likely processes, then move into the right tool

A plain DFM summary and the processes the part is likely to fit come back with the file — pick one and carry the part, its features, and its findings straight into MFGDFM or the matching specialist module.

How it works

Four steps from a raw file to a file you can trust.

01

Drop the file

Upload a 3D model or a 2D drawing. No process decision, no template, required first.

02

See what's in it

Geometry checks and feature extraction run immediately — holes, bores, flats, and more, named with a confidence.

03

See what's missing

Missing tolerances, ambiguous notes, and model-vs-drawing conflicts surface before they cost you a quote.

04

Move into the right tool

See the likely processes and hand off into MFGDFM or the specialist module that fits, with everything carried over.

Run it your way

In the cloud by default. Behind your firewall when it has to be.

Cloud

Nothing to install

Sign in and check a part from any browser. We run the compute, ship the updates, and keep your data yours.

On-prem & air-gapped

For files that can't leave the building

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 checks the file. MFGDFM picks the process.

PartDFM is the first stop for any part — geometry checks, feature extraction, and missing-information flags on the file itself. Once it checks out, MFGDFM screens it across every process family Partimation supports and ranks the best fit. Same account, same part, one hand-off.

PartDFM → MFGDFM

From a raw file to a ranked process

Once a part checks out, MFGDFM ranks it against:

PartDFM is an intake and triage step, not a final DFM verdict — every extracted feature and every flagged gap names where it came from. Confirm findings with MFGDFM or the specialist module, and your own engineering judgment, before committing a process or a supplier.
