For Immediate Release
                
Geometric releases version 2.1 of DFMPro for Pro/ENGINEER® and SolidWorks®

New Injection Molding module to help check manufacturability of plastic designs

Mumbai, India, January 28, 2010: Geometric Limited (BSE: 532312, NSE: GEOMETRIC), a leader in Engineering Services and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions and technologies, today announced the release of version 2.1 of DFMPro for Pro/ENGINEER and SolidWorks® with a number of advancements and a new Injection Molding module, which helps designers check manufacturability of plastic designs within the CAD environment.

DFMPro is a unique automated DFM review tool facilitating upstream manufacturability validation and identification of areas in design that are difficult, expensive, or impossible to manufacture. It allows quick and in-depth examination of product manufacturability through advanced design rules for manufacturing processes like milling, drilling, turning, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding.

Some of the highlights of the new version are:

•        New Injection Molding module with packaged DFM rules derived from well-known industry-accepted best practices. Users can validate the designs to check for uniform wall thickness, recommended rib parameters, appropriate draft angles on core and cavity surfaces, undercuts, thin steel conditions on mold, and many other common rules.

•        Support for imported models using Geometric’s patented Feature Recognition techniques to analyze 3D models independent of the originating CAD system.

•        Support for assemblies: DFMPro rules can be executed on assemblies, thus significantly reducing the time for execution. All the parts in an assembly can be validated using a single execution.

•        Additional rules in machining and sheet metal fabrication to improve the extent of automated design for manufacturing reviews .

•        Support for customization, batch mode operation and automated report generation: Using the DFMPro customization framework, users can write their own rules, execute the rules in a batch mode, and generate reports of DFM analyses without manual intervention.
