Fix Build Risk Before ItBecomes Rework.

Tell us what is blocking the build. Unionfab turns that risk into a clear DFM, process, prototype, or pilot-build path without asking you to classify your development stage.

What's the Biggest Risk Right Now?

Choose the sentence that sounds closest. You get a concrete action, deliverables, and what it prevents.

Choose one

Current risk or question

Start From the Failure Mode

Assembly support should reduce a specific risk: fit variation, fastener failure, batch inconsistency, slow build time, or unreliable delivery.

Fit risk

Control the Interfaces

For parts that fit once, but not repeatedly across units.

Find tolerance stack and mating-surface risk
Define CTQ dimensions and inspection gates
Recommend fixture or design-control changes

Output: fit control plan + CTQ list

Build risk

Stabilize the Assembly

For fasteners, inserts, clips, bonding, or sequence issues that create rework.

Set torque, insert, adhesive, and sequence controls
Reduce operator-sensitive steps
Define rework and acceptance standards

Output: assembly control plan + SOP notes

Delivery risk

Standardize the Pack-Out

For kits that must arrive labeled, protected, complete, and ready to use.

Define kitting and label requirements
Protect cosmetic and fragile surfaces
Prepare shipment-ready batch standards

Output: pack-out standard + QC checklist

What Happens at Each Step

Each step states what Unionfab does, what you receive, and what failure it prevents.

Check if it can be built

Checks: wall thickness, draft, undercuts, feature size, process limits

Output: marked risk list and CAD/drawing fixes

Prevents: failed quotes, weak parts, tool changes

Pick the right process

Checks: quantity, material, finish, tolerance, performance

Output: best-fit process and backup route

Prevents: prototype paths that cannot scale

Build 1-5 confirmation parts

Checks: what the first part must prove

Output: sample plan for fit, function, or appearance

Prevents: beautiful prototypes that do not answer the real question

Match material to the test

Checks: strength, heat, chemicals, wear, compliance, availability

Output: material shortlist and substitutions

Prevents: test results based on the wrong material

Check assembly interfaces

Checks: tolerance stack, datum plan, inserts, fasteners, access

Output: assembly notes and CTQ interfaces

Prevents: parts that pass alone but fail together

Run a controlled pilot batch

Checks: repeatability, fixtures, QC gates, acceptance criteria

Output: pilot build plan and inspection checklist

Prevents: uncontrolled low-volume builds

Less Guesswork Before Production.

No acronym required.

Users choose the problem they recognize, not an internal development stage.

Output is actionable.

Every recommendation becomes a report, route, sample plan, or pilot build plan.

Risk has a cost.

The page makes clear what each engineering action prevents: rework, tooling changes, missed tests, or launch delay.

How It Works

Upload File

CAD, 2D drawings, BOM, target quantity, material expectations, and the risk blocking the next build.

24H

Engineering Review

Engineers review manufacturability, process fit, material risk, assembly interfaces, and pilot-build requirements within 24 hours.

24-48H

Engineering Path

We return the DFM fix list, process route, material shortlist, sample plan, or pilot-build plan.

5-10d

Build Proof

First articles, functional samples, or pilot units are built with QC gates and launch handoff notes.
