Formed by Design, LLC

Formed by Design has a wide range of specialties that span multiple stages and domains of the engineering design process, from conceptualization to manufacturing. Formed by Design takes a collaborative systems approach to engineering design, approaching problems from both top-down and bottom-up. Formed by Design provides design, modeling, simulation, analysis, programming, and manufacturing services for complex systems, focusing in particular on integrating the design, analysis, and manufacturing processes. Engineering design is moving away from linear processes and towards nonlinear, collaborative, and iterative processes. It is becoming increasingly important to incorporate simulation and design for manufacturing into the early stages of the engineering design process, particularly for unique, high-precision, one-off parts. Opening the communication stream between all stakeholders early on in the design cycle can be a key indicator of downstream success, both reducing the risk of failure and optimizing work flow. Design for manufacturing and simulation are practices that bridge the gap between design conceptualization and manufacturing, creating an integrated and interdependent solution.
