aPriori Digital Manufacturing Simulation Software Reviews & Product Details

The insights it provides to the user on opportunities to reduce costs in a particular design. The user input is simple once the system is built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity of what you see when you open the tool can be intimidating to users that do not use it often. I like the direction of integrating some of the base level aPriori functionality into our CAD programs to support the key values that a product design Engineer needs to get from aPriori with a less complex environment and knowledge base required to get it. It is an opportunity not necessarily a negative of aPriori as the software as a tool needs to contain all the capabilities it contains so it can be applied broadly across an organization but specific insights are also attainable due to the software capabilities.

I think the most powerful part of aPriori is putting critical information into the hands of those who most benefit by using it. That information is cost and DFM for engineers and cost details for sourcing/purchasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t dislike anything however a gap is how to capture cost avoidance when a designer is refining a model. How to accurately capture the cost avoided during the design process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the variability of the software to run quick iterations on new designs to identify cost drivers. Also the ability to really dive deep into where our costs are so I can focus with our suppliers our reducing our product costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the login in is a bit slow, but I understand that we do not host the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helps me to save a lot of money for the Company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it runs very slowly when used online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Preventing future mistakes. Cost avoidence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing so far. Looks like it will help a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conference and experience from other customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No dislikes at this time. First time I’m at conference Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super user-friendly and low barrier to entry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as complex with. Capabilities as I had hoped Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best part of the software is the flexibility and adaptability to latest market conditions and capabilities of simulating simple to complex manufacturing processes. The manufacturing feedback is excellent for design engineers to effectively and efficiently design the product keeping track of the cost and manufacturability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some capabilites are limited due to unavailability of costing models such as Hydraulic hoses and Tubes which represent a large amout of costing community. Also some regressed features between latest releases are limiting the capability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Design to Cost Validation Tool

Directly interacting with 3D model for the tolerances

Fast Feel the Part or Product Cost

Helps to know what it could cost for various Locations in the globe

Gives a Basic idea cost in (Most economic Production)

Further it can be plotted for a supplier specific as per the Supplier Circumstances on the Shop Floor at Supplierl Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike is the editing the over ride for every GCD take time, we need to find solution to select few GCD and edit the feed rate for the same .

Also one report says with drop down for various location for the Cost Change, i.e. do costing in one base line and drop down the location and see cost how it varies for other locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Give better insight on product data and easy product design evaluation process. Task automation and notification to promote better workflow and collaboration between team. Use it everyday especially with the manual task completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Issue with database accuracy and quality. Difficultly in operating CAD data especially to import and export the design into the platform. Need a revision on this module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
