From 3D CAD Models to Product Cost, Carbon, & DFM Intelligence

aPriori simulates real world manufacturing using the geometry from 3D-CAD models, metadata, and our proprietary physics-based process models to simulate how a product is actually made, what it should cost, and more.

This unlocks multiple types of product intelligence: cycle time, should cost, carbon footprint, and design for manufacturability guidance faster in a scalable and repeatable manner.

Reduce Manual Work by Setting Up Automated Workflows & Analysis

aP Generate automates engineering & sourcing workflows by automatically analyzing CAD models at PLM check-in without user involvement.

Engineers get to focus on what matters and get visibility to the main issues and only step in if a cost or manufacturability issue is detected.

Bulk analysis enables procurement teams to analyze many parts in batches, letting aPriori run in the background to increase productivity and analyze a higher percent of spend.

Analyze Any Process from Machining to Electronics - Made Anywhere In the World.

aPriori’s models and cost logic have been deeply researched and curated for over 20 years.

The result is a world class modeling and data set enabling simulation of manufacturing processes ranging from machining, casting, assemblies, plating/finishing/heat treating, electronics, sheet metal, forging, injection molding, additive manufacturing and more.

We surface aPriori’s data and intelligence into digital factories, virtual models of physical factories and manufacturing processes.

Sync Teams & Data for Better Products

aP Workspace aligns siloed teams - bringing engineering, procurement and manufacturing teams together in a single, collaborative environment. It unifies product data and enables real-time communication around cost, manufacturability, and sustainability.

Users can manage tasks, tag teammates, track progress, and maintain full traceability—all in one streamlined workspace. Teams can also track key project progress using aP Analytics and using Value Dashboards – providing an automated way to keep track of early design improvements, including cost mitigation through design iterations.
