Manufacture better assess,
before any work is required
Identify manufacturing-related process variables early on and make more informed design decisions.
Technical fundamentals for manufacturing and process engineering
Manufacturing decisions often start with simple but important questions:
What surface roughness can be achieved with a specific process? What forming force is required? How large is the drawing force? What cutting force is generated? How long does machining take? MDESIGN's basic modules in the field of Manufacture assist with quick preliminary calculations, technical plausibility checks, and the preparation of designs suitable for manufacture.
Establish standards, accelerate engineering
MDESIGN provides a consistent basis for calculations across the entire team. Structured data entry, centrally maintained calculation bases, and consistent documentation ensure that results remain traceable and comparable across projects.
For over 40 years, MDESIGN has been helping companies calculate and design technical components—today with more than 35,000 users worldwide.
Manufacturing modules bundled compactly
Specialized modules are available for basic tasks in Manufacture and process engineering. They assist with quick preliminary calculations, plausibility checks, and recurring issues related to surfaces, metal forming, machining, and processing time.
Quickly determine production-related input values
The manufacture modules provide key guidance and process values for design, production engineering, and manufacturing planning—such as surface roughness values, forming forces, drawing forces, cutting forces, cutting speeds, and main operation times.
Processing time & cutting speed
Determine the primary service life and cutting speed for simple turning and
machining processes.

Quick guidance for technical decisions
The modules reduce the need for manual calculations, replace scattered spreadsheets, and help integrate design and manufacture sooner.
Assessing fertility earlier
Estimate surface roughness, forming force, cutting force, or machining time early in the design process.
Fewer tables
Perform recurring production cost estimates in a structured manner in MDESIGN.
Better coordination
Design, production planning and scheduling use the same traceable technical values.
Documented results
Input data, boundary conditions, and results can be output as a report and documented on a project-by-project basis.
Production-oriented foundational modules. A common computational environment.
Use MDESIGN to evaluate manufacturing-related issues more quickly, better classify process variables, and document results in a traceable manner.
