DFA software • Design for assembly & manufacturing

Design for assembly made easy

AVIX DFX is a powerful DFA and DFM software that helps design teams create products optimized for assembly. By evaluating, documenting, and communicating key assembly aspects early in the design phase, AVIX DFX ensures that manufacturability becomes an integral part of product development – not an afterthought.

Through visual analyses using videos, 3D-models, drawings, and images, the software provides a clear overview of improvement opportunities. Built-in examples, templates, and search functions make the process structured, collaborative, and easy to follow.

With AVIX DFX, you can improve existing products, streamline new designs, and reduce the need for costly prototypes. The result: better product designs, smoother assembly, and reduced production costs.

DFX for Every Design Stage

DFX is a collective term covering several improvement methodologies, including DFA (Design for Assembly), DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and DFS (Design for Service). AVIX DFX brings all these approaches together in one tool, helping you evaluate designs from multiple perspectives. By documenting ideas and decisions clearly during DFX meetings, teams can save significant time and cost in product development – often reducing the number of components and manual assembly steps by 20–40%.

Manufacturing Bill of Materials Integration

AVIX DFX makes it easy to build or import a Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM), providing a fully integrated view of products, modules, and analyses. Choose from predefined templates, such as DFA2 (Design for Automated Assembly), or create your own. Supporting documentation like drawings, images, or videos is conveniently attached to each analysis, giving you a complete overview of design and manufacturability aspects in one place.

Customizable and Collaborative

With its intuitive, guided interface, AVIX DFX is easy to adapt to your organization’s specific needs. We can also help you create your own templates with custom criteria and questions. The tool promotes collaboration between designers and production engineers, encouraging valuable discussions and shared insights during the analysis. Using AVIX DFX across departments strengthens communication, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement in your product development process.

Frequently asked questions

How does Design for Assembly (DFA) benefit manufacturing processes?

Design for Assembly improves manufacturing by reducing assembly time, costs, and complexity. It minimizes parts and supports/simplifies automation, thereby speeding up production.

How does AVIX DFX facilitate the evaluation and documentation of assembly aspects during the design phase?

AVIX DFX imports a D/MBOM used to evaluate the different design aspects of DFA. This can be done on a part- or product-level. Part-level DFA optimizes individual components for ease of assembly, while product-level DFA looks at the entire product’s design to minimize complexity and improve assembly efficiency.

Is AVIX DFX customizable to specific organizational needs and processes?

Yes, AVIX DFX is developed and maintained by our in-house team, giving us the flexibility to tailor the software to specific customer needs. The standard version is designed for quick implementation and broad applicability, but we also provide customization options.

Can AVIX DFX software integrate with existing ERP/MRP systems?

Yes, AVIX DFX can be integrated with existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) systems.
