Design for manufacturing (DFM) is the process of designing your product with the goal of making it easy to manufacture. It is a critical manufacturing tooling design and process development step ...

AutoReview reviews 2D drawings and 3D CAD models and enforces design for manufacturing (DFM) best practices.

A substantial majority of a part’s cost (70% or more) is effectively locked in once a design is finalized. How can a design engineer truly predict the most important cost drivers of a particular ...

The manufacturing world is undergoing a profound transformation based on new design technologies that couple 3D representations of highly complex structures with artificial intelligence, model-based ...

A lot is happening in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) these days. The body of DFM knowledge originated in the early 1970s and has been growing steadily ever since. Hitachi, Westinghouse, and Stuart ...

For a good look at the power of lean engineering and design for manufacturing, the Ford Taurus is a leading example. "A lot of the early success stories that happened with DFMA were in the automotive ...

Electronics design engineers spend substantial effort on schematics, simulation, and layout. Yet, a component’s long-term success also depends on how well its physical form aligns with downstream ...

In the first of a four-part series, Robert Dusenbury provides an overview of how his team went about designing and producing a golf putter to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of closed-loop ...

Robotic systems are transforming industries worldwide, from manufacturing plants to healthcare facilities. However, the journey from concept to deployment is often fraught with design and ...
