Optimizing Your Product with Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is a proven approach to ensure that components, products, or assemblies are designed for manufacturability and cost efficiency. Engaging early in the product design process minimizes costs, simplifies manufacturing, and accelerates production timelines, delivering time and resource efficiency.
What We Offer:
Cost-Effective Assemblies: Designs optimized to enhance production efficiency.
Accelerating Time-to-Market: Expert design and development for accelerated launches.
Simplified Processes: Reduced assembly steps and part quantities.
End-to-End Optimization: Identifying and eliminating constraints for seamless production.
Converting Uncertainty into Consistent Quality: Continuous improvement at every stage for superior products.
The DFM process integrates product design and production methods, ensuring transparency and teamwork. Expert teams focus on driving process excellence, creating high-quality, market-ready products that maximize profitability.
Optimizing Your Process for Better Performance
Issues
- Insufficient joint strength and inconsistent reliability in the original assembly.
- Manual bonding of stamped parts to plastic was labor-intensive.
- Bonding introduced dimensional inconsistencies that degraded overall quality.
Improvements
- Introduced over-molding to integrate stamped parts with plastic components.
- Streamlined production by replacing the manual bonding step.
- Achieved a more robust and stable assembly that aligns with the customer’s stringent requirements.
Result
Over-molding replaced manual bonding, producing a robust, dimensionally stable assembly that streamlined production, enhanced reliability, and met the customer’s stringent requirements.
