AI in design for manufacturing

AI for computational design and manufacturing brings visibility and control to early trade-offs.

Design choices often lock in cost, effort, and risk before production begins. Without transparency, teams face expensive redesigns and missed targets. SEER and SEERai enable AI-driven design optimization for manufacturability. Engineers and planners can evaluate materials, processes, and configurations early, seeing how decisions impact feasibility, cost, and schedule. Unlike black-box systems, our platform delivers DFM AI with explainable models and visible drivers, so every recommendation is traceable and defensible.

Design for manufacturing clarity

Design optimization for manufacturability reduces rework and accelerates delivery.

Design for manufacturing (DFM) is where early decisions set the course for cost, labor, and quality. Without visibility, teams risk expensive redesigns and late-stage changes. Galorath’s SEER platform and SEERai bring DFM AI into the process, turning assumptions into transparent inputs and outputs. AI for computational design and manufacturing allows engineers to explore materials, processes, and trade-offs with confidence. The result is AI-driven design optimization for manufacturability that helps teams catch issues early, balance performance and cost, and move forward with greater certainty.

See how Lockheed Martin accelerated manufacturability and cost estimating

Lockheed Martin used Galorath’s SEER during cost estimating for airframe components. By modeling assemblies with real cost drivers instead of manual lookups, they reduced estimate time from days to hours, even for complex subsystems, while improving model transparency.

“The SEER tools are equally strong at estimating both software and hardware costs. When you use a parametric model like SEER, you reduce uncertainty by deconstructing the project into smaller, well-defined components, the cost estimate of which can be more readily critiqued by the technical and program management staff. SEER is easy [to use] and intuitive.”

David Bracamonte, Senior Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton
