Introducing DFM Analysis for BuildOS

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Checks — Catch issues before they hit the floor

We’re excited to roll out a powerful upgrade to BuildOS that helps you build instructions not just faster, but smarter:

DFM Analysis – identify impossible assembly steps and overlapping parts in your model automatically.

This feature brings manufacturing-awareness early into your instructions — so you can catch critical issues early and fix them fast.

DFM Analysis — build it right the first time

Spot overlapping parts instantly

BuildOS now automatically scans your models for overlapping parts— a common modeling error that can ultimately make assembly on the floor impossible.

Problem areas are clearly marked in your tree, so you know exactly what needs to be fixed.

Stop waiting to discover bad designs on the shop floor — shift problem identification to the left!

Flag impossible steps

BuildOS now checks every assembly step for interferences — ensuring all steps can be performed on the shop floor without issue.

Each flagged step is shown with a warning and explanation, so you can adjust the sequence or design before finalizing your instructions.

Fully automatic — always updating, never slowing you down

DFM Analysis runs in the background as you build, and shows results directly in your instruction tree. You’ll know immediately if a step cannot be performed — without clicking into another tab or tool.

With DFM Analysis, BuildOS helps you build not just great instructions — but great products. Fix issues upstream, prevent delays downstream.

Happy building,

The Dirac Team
