Early design optimization is vital in manufacturing to ensure quality and cost-effectiveness. Delaying it until production can drastically increase costs and risks. Digital optimization before production enables cost-efficient design changes, while late-stage modifications can be exponentially more expensive, emphasizing the need for early optimization.

CAD simulation has become a standard at OEMs and large manufacturers. Conducting tolerance analysis, finite element analysis and other forms of simulation optimize designs and improve manufacturability.
