Design for Manufacturability (DFM)

Design For Manufacturability (also sometimes known as Design For Manufacturing or DFM) is the general engineering art of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. This design practice not only focuses on the design aspect of a part but also on the producibility. In simple language it means relative ease to manufacture a product, part or assembly. DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase which is the least expensive place to address them.

SAVE TIME, INCREASE QUALITY AND REDUCE COST!

As part of our DFM process, we analyze your design for:

 

  • Material Type – Help you determine what materials offer the best machine ability vs cost for your application.

  • Material Form – The size and shape of components may determine which form of material must be used.

  • Dimensional Tolerances – Analyze the geometric tolerances for each feature and higher lever assembly to determine if any cost saving can be realized with tolerance adjustment. Don’t pay for precision where you may not need it.

  • Design and Shape – PMI ensures that your product is designed for producibility with ease of manufacturing. We look into every aspect of the design to correct any production and manufacturing issues.
