Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
The critical role of early design decisions in manufacturing and assembly is highlighted, demonstrating how Design for Manufacturing (also known as Design for Manufacturability or DfM) and Design for Assembly influence performance, reliability, lead time, and cost.
This Mikroniek article explores key principles of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) and provides practical strategies for engineers and companies to integrate DfMA effectively. By adopting a proactive approach, teams can achieve functional, manufacturable, economical, and robust designs from the start. This article may serve as an introduction to Chapter 10 (Design for Manufacturability) on DSPE’s Design Principles for Precision Mechatronics website. (Image courtesy of Firat Büyükcivelek)
