DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly)
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
Combined design methodology for reducing manufacturing and assembly complexity and total product cost.
Examples
- 01A DFMA study on a power tool reduces part count by 30 % and machining steps by 20 %.
- 02The cross-functional DFMA workshop reviews every part, asking if it can be removed, combined or simplified.
- 03After DFMA, the product cost target is met and assembly takes 3 minutes less.
