Breaking Down Barriers: How InfinitForm is Revolutionizing AI-Driven Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Workflows with Siemens
Featured in Siemens PLM Components Case Study
We're proud to be recognized as a valued customer and partner by Siemens, a testament to our innovative approach and the transformative impact we're making in the manufacturing industry.
The industry has long struggled with a fundamental challenge: the disconnect between design optimization and manufacturing reality. Traditional design processes often result in costly iterations when manufacturability issues surface late in the development cycle. At InfinitForm, we set out to solve this critical bottleneck by deploying AI engineering intelligence that seamlessly bridges the gap between design intent and manufacturing constraints.
The Challenge: When Innovation Meets Manufacturing Reality
Traditionally, design optimization has been an expensive trial-and-error process, limited by designers' domain expertise and bandwidth. Even worse, when design (CAD), simulation (CAE), and manufacturing (CAM) occur in disconnected software environments, engineers are forced to "go back to start" when manufacturability issues are discovered at each stage.
Traditional generative design typically prioritized performance optimization, making them compatible with additive manufacturing but complicated to produce with cost-effective mass-manufacturing systems like CNC machining, die casting, and injection molding. This creates a significant barrier to bringing innovative designs to market efficiently and cost-effectively.

Our Solution: AI Engineering Intelligence with Built-in Manufacturability
InfinitForm's engineering assistant eliminates these critical cross-system bottlenecks by deploying an AI engineering intelligence layer that serves as an assistant throughout the entire design-to-manufacturing process. Our unique approach incorporates manufacturability analysis from the outset, allowing rapid development of models optimized for traditional manufacturing systems while maintaining design intention and functional performance.
What Sets Us Apart: Prismatic Design Intelligence
Our prismatic design intelligence delivers optimized geometries that are inherently manufacturable across both traditional and advanced production methods. Unlike other generative design tools that output mesh-based representations with limited precision, InfinitForm generates manufacturing-ready designs using exact boundary representation (B-rep) - the same data model used by CAD systems.
This approach provides several critical advantages:
- Engineers can accurately edit parametric designs
- Models export seamlessly to downstream mass-manufacturing software
- Designs incorporate manufacturing constraints from day one
- Traditional manufacturing methods become viable for AI-optimized designs
Strategic Partnership: Choosing Parasolid for Geometric Excellence
Recognizing the substantial investment required to develop advanced geometric modeling capabilities in-house, we strategically evaluated available geometric kernels. After thorough assessment, we selected Parasolid, Siemens' industry-standard 3D geometric kernel.
This partnership proved transformational, allowing us to focus on developing innovative AI design assistant capabilities while Parasolid reliably handles the complexity of geometry modeling. The integration provides:
- Advanced modeling functionalities with unparalleled performance and stability
- Seamless interoperability due to Parasolid's widespread adoption among major CAD systems
- Manufacturing-ready outputs that integrate perfectly with existing workflows
Real-World Impact: Transforming Design Cycles
Our platform supplements, automates, and enhances customers' existing workflows by providing a lightweight solution to import design concepts and translate them into accurate, manufacturing-ready models. The results speak for themselves:
- Design cycles improved by up to 70%
- Faster time-to-market for new products
- Reduced manufacturing costs through early manufacturability assessment
- Enhanced collaboration across historically siloed functional teams
Beyond Internal Teams: Enabling Supply Chain Excellence
InfinitForm's collaboration tools extend beyond internal organizations. When production is outsourced, our platform ensures the same best-in-class quality of manufacturable design data can be shared with suppliers, maintaining design integrity throughout the entire supply chain.
The Technology Behind the Innovation
Our AI design assistant incorporates comprehensive manufacturability assessment alongside user-defined constraints and parameters. This allows designers to seamlessly explore multiple manufacturing method alternatives during the optimization process, incorporating manufacturing specifications and cost considerations early in the design phase.
The result? Output designs that guarantee viability and producibility while reducing downstream iterations. Regardless of the complexity of AI-driven design generation and simulation, our platform ensures excellent optimization process performance, enabling informed design decisions based on manufacturability.
Looking Forward: Creating Synergy Across Systems
As CEO and Founder Michael Bogomolny notes, leveraging Parasolid allows InfinitForm to "generate prismatic models with embedded manufacturability constraints that are fully editable in any CAD system." This capability creates synergy throughout CAD, CAE, and CAM systems while ensuring designs can be efficiently produced at scale.
InfinitForm brings order to chaos, generating and simulating production-ready, optimized designs with built-in manufacturability assessment for most modes of manufacturing. We're not just solving today's design challenges – we're building the foundation for tomorrow's manufacturing excellence.
