Altium Develop is a collaborative innovation environment that connects design, engineering, and manufacturing stakeholders in one place. Instead of teams working in isolation, it provides a shared space where feedback, design changes, and requirements are tracked as they happen. Built on the Altium 365 ecosystem, it bridges disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, software, and sourcing to reduce miscommunication and delays. By giving suppliers and production engineers an early voice in the process, it minimizes rework and accelerates product delivery. The result is a faster, more transparent path from concept to production, with alignment across every stage of development.

Manufacturing Toolkit (MTK)
The Manufacturing Toolkit (MTK) is a specialized CAD SDK aimed at software developers who are creating quoting systems, CAM workflows, cloud manufacturing solutions, or any application that integrates geometry with production processes.
MTK offers a variety of features, such as:
• Recognition of features like machining, sheet metal, and molding
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) checks for the same processes
• Unfolding techniques specifically for sheet metal
• Nesting capabilities
• Calculations for bounding box, volume, surface area, wall thickness, draft angle, and numerous other metrics
• Importing of CAD files and visualization on the web
• Additional features in development, including support for additive manufacturing
This toolkit is already enabling teams to enhance efficiency in cost estimation and quoting processes while streamlining DFM checks, thus eliminating the need to start from scratch. As a result, it significantly accelerates workflows and improves productivity in manufacturing environments.

DFMPro
DFMPro is an advanced software suite focused on design-for-manufacturability that seamlessly integrates with leading CAD platforms like Creo Parametric, SOLIDWORKS, NX, and CATIA V5, enabling engineers to identify and address manufacturability challenges at the early stages of the design process. It provides real-time checks and actionable insights related to manufacturing, assembly, geometry, and cost, which helps in minimizing rework and fine-tuning tolerances before production commences. Additionally, the software features a cost estimation module that tracks expenses as the design progresses, considering factors such as materials, features, geometry, and manufacturing regions, while also recommending strategies for reducing costs, standardizing components, and reusing parts. DFMPro is designed to accommodate various manufacturing methods, including injection molding, machining, casting, and sheet metal fabrication, serving a wide array of industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and high-tech electronics. By using this tool, engineers can enhance the efficiency of their design processes and ultimately deliver products that are more cost-effective and manufacturable.
