Abstract
Provided are systems and methods for identifying manufacturability improvements to a component prior to the design being provided to a manufacturer. In one example, the method may include receiving an image including a geometric design of a component, receiving an identification of a type of manufacturing process for the component from among a plurality of types of manufacturing processes, recognizing a geometric feature of the component from the image based on the type of manufacturing process, determining a modification to one or more of a size, a shape, and a location of the recognized geometric feature for reducing manufacturing complexity, and displaying, via a user interface, a suggestion for modifying the geometric design of the component based on the determined modification of the recognized geometric feature.
