DFM (Design for Manufacturing)
Design for Manufacturing
Design approach that simplifies and optimizes products for robust, economical manufacturing.
Examples
- 01Using DFM, engineers change a sharp internal corner to a 2 mm radius so it can be milled with a standard tool.
- 02The DFM review with the supplier checks wall thickness, draft angles and tolerances before tooling starts.
- 03The DFM changes cut machining cost of the housing by 18 % and remove one setup, without any effect on product function.
