Catch manufacturability risks before the floor does
Every model you quote is checked against a set of rules tuned to your shop. Deep holes, sharp internal corners, radii below your smallest tool, and parts that will not fit your machines are flagged before you commit to a price.
Infab DFM analysis is an in-house engine, not a black-box model.
Every finding, grouped and graded
The check groups every flagged feature by type and severity, so you see what needs attention before the part reaches the floor. Run the same part again and you get the same answer, because a ruleset is data the engine reads, not a model that drifts.
Severity at a glance. Each category rolls up to its worst finding.
Grouped by category. Holes, Corners, Setup.
Reproducible. Same part, same ruleset, same result.
Highlighted on the model. Flagged faces are called out in the live viewer below.
Every rule tells you why it fired
Rules cover holes, corners, and setup. Your shop chooses which checks run and tunes the thresholds behind them, and rule changes are saved as versions so a result can be traced to the ruleset that produced it. Every finding names the feature it caught, says why it matters, and gives you the measurement behind it. Nothing is a black box.

CleanSharp internal corner
1Internal corner has no radius; the smallest practical end mill leaves 0.8 mm.
Deep drilled hole
1Hole depth-to-diameter of 14.2:1 exceeds this shop's practical drilling limit of 10:1.
Non-standard hole diameter
1Hole diameter 6.1 mm is not a standard drill size; the nearest is 6.35 mm.
Your machines, your tools, your thresholds
The check knows your machines. It tells you which of your machines a part fits, and it checks setups against the axes you actually run. Admins tune the thresholds and maintain a capability profile, so the check reflects your shop, not a generic standard.
Machine fit. Which of your machines a part fits, and which is the largest.
Setup-aware corners. Checked against the directions the part can be held.
Admin-tunable thresholds.
Your capability. Tool radii, axes, and machine travels come from your capability profile.

Common questions
What does the DFM check look for?
The checks cover holes, internal corners, setup considerations, radii below your smallest tool, and machine fit against the machines your shop maintains.
Is Infab DFM generative AI?
No. It is an in-house, rules-based engine. The same part checked against the same ruleset produces the same result every time.
Can the rules reflect our shop's capabilities?
Yes. Machine fit, axes, tool radii, and travels come from the capability profile your shop maintains, and admins choose which checks run and tune their thresholds.
Can I see where a problem is on the model?
Yes. Selecting a finding highlights the affected faces in the 3D viewer, so the issue can be reviewed in its geometric context.
Does DFM decide whether we should quote the part?
No. It gives repeatable findings and measurements to support the estimator's decision. Process, price, and acceptance stay with your shop.
