Tooling delays
Geometries that demand 5-axis tools or custom EDM electrodes silently push first-article inspection past launch.
Design for
manufacturing.
Instantly.
Forge generates production-ready product architectures optimized for cost, materials, tooling, and supply chain constraints.

02Failure Modes / Pre-production
Most products fail before the factory floor.
F-02 / 06DFM ✕
Impossible geometries
Internal undercuts, draft-less walls, and zero-radius pockets that cannot be molded, milled, or printed at volume.
F-03 / 061 of 1
Supplier bottlenecks
Single-source rare materials and bespoke connectors collapse the bill of materials when one factory slips.
F-04 / 06+312%
Exploding BOM costs
Late-stage component swaps cascade through tolerancing, fixtures, and certification — quietly tripling unit cost.
F-05 / 06RISK 0.81
Fragile supply chains
Geographic concentration in a single region turns a typhoon, tariff, or strike into a six-month standstill.
F-06 / 06n=7
Redesign cycles
Each round-trip between industrial design, mech eng, and CM erodes runway and burns engineering attention.
