Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
(DFMA) is a process by which a product’s design is adjusted to make it fit within the
limits and potential of the manufacturing process.
DFMA is fundamentally a collaborative process involving product design and engineering,
manufacturing engineering, equipment engineering, materials engineering, and cost analysis
to optimize the economics and functionality of a part. Utilization of the collective
knowledge of the various specialists assures that a balance is struck before mold
construction begins.
Benefits of DFMA:
| • |
Decrease Part
Cost: Optimization of a part’s design produces the lowest practical unit cost. |
| • |
Save Time: A
shorter over-all development cycle by reducing trial and error cycles. |
| • |
Lower Capital
Cost: Eliminating unnecessary complexity and safety factors. |
| • |
Improve Part
Performance: Trade off part features vs. costs in an objective and balanced environment. |
