Meet MAKESENSE.
Upload a STEP or STL file.
Receive a DFM analysis, repairability and compliance insights, verified by a senior engineer, within 24 hours.
Three separate reviews, all of them arrive too late.
Most hardware teams think they’re moving toward production right up until a manufacturer rejects the design, or certification comes back with changes.
At that stage, redesigning is still possible. But, it’s just slower, more expensive, and usually involves rework that could have been avoided earlier.
MAKESENSE runs all three simultaneously before you commit to prototyping or tooling.
Our solution brings manufacturability, repairability, and compliance reviews earlier into the design process, before tooling, prototyping, or certification feedback forces changes downstream.
Each review is verified by a senior engineer and delivered within 24 hours, including DFM analysis, repairability and compliance insights, and recommended design revisions.
WHAT MAKESENSE DOES
One file upload. Three layers of analysis.
1.
Manufacturability Score
Manufacturability failures are mostly about tolerance stack-up across an assembly, tooling access that looks fine in design and fails on the floor, or wall thickness that passes a check but does not survive the process.
MAKESENSE scores against production reality, not a ruleset. Wall thickness, tooling access geometry, draft angles, tolerance stack-up, and assembly sequence complexity, with specific suggested revisions referenced to your geometry.
2.
Repairability Analysis & Compliance Flags
Repairability and compliance are rarely reviewed at design stage because there has been no efficient way to assess them before the design is locked.
That is why MAKESENSE runs both simultaneously with manufacturability, surfacing fastener access issues, component replaceability constraints, and likely compliance gaps while there is still time to act on them without triggering a redesign cycle.
3.
Engineer-Verified Output
Most automated analysis tools are good at identifying geometric issues, but manufacturability decisions are rarely that straightforward. Context, material choice and process constraints matter.
That is why every MAKESENSE review is verified by a senior engineer before delivery, so the output is not just technically correct, but useful in the context of how the part will actually be manufactured.
HOW IT WORKS
Upload to verified report in under 24 hours.
Designed to fit inside your design sprint. Upload when you need a pre-prototype sanity check or a pre-tooling risk assessment. Get a verified, actionable report before your next review.
1.
Upload Your File
STEP and STL supported. No file conversion or third-party export required.
2.
Analysis Runs
MAKESENSE runs simultaneous DFM, repairability, and compliance analysis across your geometry and design parameters.
3.
Engineer Review
A senior Xynapse engineer verifies every flag and score before the report is released.
Nothing goes out unreviewed
3.
Report Delivered
Scored output with specific fixes. Ready to act on before your next manufacturer conversation.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
Not a linter. Not a checklist. A manufacturing intelligence layer.
NO PLATFORM DEPENDENCY
Works with any CAD tool
Accepts any STEP or STL file regardless of which CAD environment produced it. No requirement to design in a specific platform. No workflow disruption.
UNIFIED ANALYSIS
Three layers in one pass
Manufacturability, repairability, and compliance run simultaneously on a single
upload, before prototype commitment or tooling spend.
HUMAN VERIFICATION
Verified, not just computed
Every output is reviewed by a senior Xynapse engineer before delivery. The findings are defensible in a design
review or supplier brief
DIAGNOSIS AND RESOLUTION
Same engineers. Same design
If the report identifies work that needs doing, the Xynapse engineering team
can help you with it. So, there are no handover, re-briefing. No gap between diagnosis and resolution.
Join the Waitlist
We are opening early access to a limited number of hardware teams.
Early access teams get priority turnaround, direct access to the engineering team,
and input into which analysis capabilities we prioritise next.
Same engineers.
Same context.
No handover.
If MAKESENSE flags issues, you can choose how to resolve them.
If you’d rather not re-brief a new team, the same Xynapse team can step in and help.
