We saw this pattern repeatedly. Engineers would finish a design that looked optimal from a performance standpoint — only to spend days or weeks walking it back so it could actually be built. Performance and manufacturability were treated as separate problems, solved sequentially, with iteration cycles in between.

InfinitForm was built to change that.

The Shift: Designing for performance and manufacturability from day one

InfinitForm is an AI-enhanced design optimization tool that embeds design-for-manufacturing (DFM) intelligence directly into the design workflow — not as a final check, but as a foundational design input.

Instead of optimizing for performance first and validating manufacturability later, InfinitForm solves for both simultaneously — from the first iteration.

Manufacturability isn’t a downstream gate. It’s built into the design — alongside load cases, material targets, and functional requirements.

At its core, InfinitForm combines:

• • Proprietary, deterministic GPU-accelerated solvers
  • AI Copilot with engineering intelligence
  • Automated DFM analysis and constraint validation
  • Manufacturing-aware, CAD-native output

The Output: Optimized designs that are manufacturing-ready

When manufacturability is part of optimization — not something checked after — the output has to change.

One of the biggest frustrations with generative design tools today is what happens at the end: geometry that looks impressive, but is difficult to modify, validate, or manufacture — especially for traditional manufacturing processes.

InfinitForm takes a different approach.

Parametric Designs: Flexibility without reopening manufacturability risk

Parametric designs are mathematically driven, rule-based geometries that preserve design intent while allowing intelligent variation. Engineers can adjust parameters to explore alternatives, respond to late-stage changes, or optimize for different manufacturing processes — all while maintaining both performance requirements and manufacturability validation.

This means:

• • Full control of dimensions and constraints
  • Editable designs inside standard CAD workflows
  • Manufacturing constraints preserved as parameters change
  • Downstream teams able to validate, adjust, and produce with confidence

That’s where prismatic designs come in.

Prismatic designs are feature-based geometries built on machining- and tooling-friendly features such as pockets, bosses, ribs, fillets, and holes. These designs are optimized simultaneously for performance and manufacturability across traditional manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, casting, injection molding, and additive manufacturing.

They’re immediately usable inside standard CAD systems and can move directly to CAM programming or tooling — without redesign or translation.

The Integration: Designed to work inside existing CAD workflows

Designs return as clean, manufacturing-ready B-rep geometry — never flattened meshes or black-box outputs. With InfinitForm’s native CAD add-ins, designs can be delivered as native CAD files with full feature history preserved.

That means engineers can:

• • Edit features directly inside their CAD platform
  • Adjust dimensions and constraints
  • Incorporate designs into existing assemblies and drawings
  • Continue downstream work without translation or rebuild

InfinitForm integrates directly with SOLIDWORKS and Siemens NX, allowing engineers to pull designs into InfinitForm, explore optimized parametric outputs, and push results back into SolidWorks as fully editable CAD models. (Integrations with Autodesk and additional CAD add-ins are coming soon.)

Engineers don't have to abandon their CAD system or re-create geometry by hand. Optimization becomes part of the existing workflow — not a detour.

The Engine: Automated DFM that removes iteration, not judgment

InfinitForm automates DFM validation so engineers can focus on decisions — not repetitive checks or late-stage rework.

The platform continuously evaluates and automates:

• • Manufacturability constraints such as tool access, draft angles, wall thickness, and undercuts
  • Part manufacturability across traditional manufacturing processes
  • Assembly considerations and DFMA best practices
  • Design rule checking (DRC) and compliance requirements
  • First-pass yield risk and manufacturing feasibility

This enables real-time design validation, catching issues early — when they’re cheapest and easiest to fix.

This dynamic is well understood in manufacturing: the earlier design and manufacturing constraints are addressed, the more flexibility teams have — and the less costly changes become later on.

The Proof: What early customers can do dramatically faster

One defense technology company told us that a design task that previously required two senior engineers working for three full days was completed in under 30 minutes using InfinitForm — all while improving part performance and meeting manufacturability requirements.

Across early users, we’ve seen design cycles compress from days to hours, iteration loops disappear, and manufacturing teams engage earlier with far fewer surprises.

At enterprise scale, that means fewer engineering bottlenecks, faster time-to-market, and the ability to explore more design alternatives without scaling headcount or extending timelines.

The Outcome: Design and manufacturing finally move together

InfinitForm supports a fully integrated design-to-manufacturing workflow:

• • CAD design assistance with built-in manufacturing intelligence
  • Automated engineering validation during iteration
  • Design optimization that respects real production constraints
  • Manufacturing-ready CAD designs as the final output
  • Rapidly explore alternative materials and manufacturing processes — without rework or performance regressions

Teams spend less time fixing designs — and more time building better products.

Who This is For: Engineers who want to innovate

InfinitForm isn’t just for teams under tight deadlines. It’s for engineers who want to spend more time on high-value innovation and less time on rework.

That includes:

• • Design engineers who want to explore more concepts without reopening manufacturability risk
  • Manufacturing engineers who want designs that work the first time
  • Engineering leaders who want consistent design quality without scaling headcount
  • Teams who want to move faster without cutting corners
