What is Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
What is design for manufacturability? The purpose of processing design for manufacturability (DFM) is to make a better product at a lower cost. By simplifying, optimizing, and refining the product design, we can shoot down most of the potential issue before running Custom Injection Molding production.
Design for Manufacturability
We need to take these 5 factors into consideration during a DFM:
1. Design
2. Material
3. Process
4. Compliance/Assembly
5. Production
Typically, DFM needs to start at the earlier stage of design, well before begin the tooling. Actually, DFM is to challenge the design to see if all the components, sub-system, system, assembly, function meet the expectations. If any other adjustments we can have to make the design more better and cost less. It takes quite some time and effort to go into a DFM.
