CA1867B - Empowering Design Excellence from Inception

Businesses face huge digital transformation decisions as they race to be competitive in challenging economic conditions that begin right from the product’s inception. Attend the insightful session that covers inception to ultimate product realization using HCL DFMPro.

HCL’s DFX software allows a designer to quickly run and achieve near-net, first-time-yield designs for production. It provides years of industry standard manufacturability rules-based logic parameterized using company institutional knowledge to analyze and highlight downstream issues during 3D design time. It allows a designer to quickly identify and resolve problems in a unified digital interface and can be run against native CAD or STEP-AP242 components or assemblies running on all major CAD platforms including PTC’s Creo.
