For designs ready to be manufactured
With an integrated DfX approach from the design phase, you benefit from:
Without DfX, the risks are well-known: delays, costly rework, component unavailability, production defects.
- More robust designs
- Cost control throughout the lifecycle
- Faster and more reliable production
- Smooth collaboration between R&D, manufacturing and procurement
Every hour invested in Design for eXcellence saves days in production and weeks on time-to-market.

Q&A
Because the integration of DfX often raises specific questions depending on the project, we answer the main concerns of R&D, industrialization and technical purchasing teams.
Why integrate DfX in the design phase?
Field experience shows that major industrial risks arise when manufacturing, sourcing and test constraints are not anticipated. DfX prevents design rework, manufacturing delays or production defects.
In which sectors is LACROIX’s DfX approach already applied?
Practical cases are presented in four industrial environments: Automotive, Industry, Smart Buildings & Connected Homes (HBAS), and Aerospace & Defense. These case studies illustrate the ability to adapt the DfX method according to sector-specific requirements.
Can DfX improve a product’s cost and reliability?
Yes. By working from the earliest phases, you can optimize the selected components, enhance mechanical robustness and adapt the test strategy to guarantee the expected quality level.
