Fabdose helps product designers and hardware teams catch manufacturing issues before they reach a factory. Drop a STEP file, select the manufacturing process, and receive a detailed report in usually under a minute: flagged faces, specific defect types (undercuts, draft angles, hole depth ratios), and suggested fixes. Where it goes deepest is injection molding, the process where design mistakes cost the most (tooling revisions, lead time, mold re-cuts). CNC and sheet metal are supported for process comparison and flag common issues. Compared to sending a design to a factory for a DFM review: no wait for a quote response, no file sharing with a third party, results in about a minute. The geometry analysis runs locally; the CAD file is never uploaded. Available now as a desktop app on both macOS and Windows (Windows is in the Microsoft Store). Free tier: 5 analyses, no card. Pro: $35/month for unlimited analyses.
