DFM + MANAGED OFFSHORING x (CONTINGENCY) = ZERO RISK SAVINGS

At REDUx Engineering, we’ve developed a proprietary, contingency-based program that combines design for manufacture engineering inputs with managed offshoring to pre-vetted partners in tariff-free zones that delivers substantial cost reductions directly to your bottom line, with no up-front costs or risks.
At REDUx Engineering, we’ve developed a proprietary, contingency-based managed offshoring process that delivers substantial cost reductions directly to your bottom line. Here’s how we make it effortless for you:

Engagement: We start with an introductory call to understand your needs and identify areas where REDUx can enhance your success. Following a mutual NDA, we provide our Priority Matrix for you to detail target parts and subassemblies. This information allows us to pinpoint high-viability projects.

Verification & Innovation: We review your submissions, offering rough estimates of potential savings and recommending strong candidate projects. Our team provides Design for Manufacturability (DFM), material science, and shipping optimization (DFL) inputs to maximize your savings beyond simple offshoring. Together, we finalize the design package and proceed with vendor quotations.

Validation: REDUx assists with vendor qualification, including visits and audits, and supports you through the first article build and final approval, ensuring quality and compliance.

Value-Added Partnership: Your finance team confirms pre-project costs and validates the savings. We then add 20% of the savings to the new part cost, which is paid directly to REDUx by the manufacturer. You issue a 12-month purchase order to the selected manufacturer, and we establish and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure ongoing success.

Material Science in Manufacturing Material science is the study of materials’ properties, structures, and behaviors to optimize their use in manufacturing. It focuses on selecting and engineering materials—metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites—to enhance product performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Understanding material properties such as strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability helps engineers design products that meet functional and economic requirements.

Key Benefits of Material Science in Manufacturing

  • Cost Efficiency – Optimizing material selection reduces raw material costs, improves manufacturability, and minimizes waste, leading to lower production expenses.
  • Enhanced Product Performance – Advanced materials improve strength, weight reduction, thermal and electrical conductivity, and wear resistance, ensuring better functionality.
  • Improved Quality & Reliability – Material science helps prevent defects, fatigue, and failures by selecting materials best suited for the application, ensuring longevity and consistency.
  • Sustainability & Compliance – Enables the development of eco-friendly and recyclable materials, meeting regulatory standards while reducing environmental impact.
  • Process Optimization – Helps manufacturers refine production techniques such as additive manufacturing, casting, or machining, improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

By leveraging material science, manufacturers can balance cost, performance, and quality while innovating in product design and sustainability.
