Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) Audit Services

​Maximize your ROI and eliminate production risks before you hit "Print." We offer two levels of expert design review tailored to your project’s needs.

​1. The "Keynote" Audit — $275 + GST

​Best for: Individual makers, rapid prototyping, and non-critical functional parts.

​A focused, high-level review designed to catch common "print-killers" and optimize your part for basic production.

​Printability Check: Identification of "at-risk" geometry (overhangs, thin walls, and bridge spans).

​Orientation Strategy: Advice on the best build orientation for surface finish and strength.

​Material Suitability: Confirmation that your chosen material aligns with the part's geometry.

​Summary Report: A concise "Keynote" brief highlighting the top 3–5 improvements to make.

​2. The Full DfAM Audit — $1,275 + GST

​Best for: Industrial components, end-use parts, and cost-sensitive production runs.

​A comprehensive, deep-dive engineering review. This is for when failure isn't an option and efficiency is everything.

​In-Depth Geometry Analysis: Complete audit of tolerances, clearances, and mechanical fits.

​Cost & Weight Optimization: Detailed suggestions for lightweighting (honeycombing or shelling) to reduce material costs and print time.

​Structural Integrity Review: Evaluation of anisotropic strength properties based on your specific load requirements.

​Support Reduction Strategy: Expert design tweaks to minimize or eliminate the need for support structures.

​Post-Processing Plan: Advice on how design choices will affect sanding, painting, or assembly.

​Comprehensive Report: A formal, multi-page technical document including annotated screenshots and specific design modifications.
