Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) is an effective approach to product design that emphasises the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of production and assembly. DFMA combines two methodologies — Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly — both equally focused on improving aspects of the production process for a better final product.
By utilising a company’s manufacturing processes, capabilities, and knowledge at the outset of designing your product, you can capitalise on their expertise during every phase of development. In this article, we explain the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly philosophy in more detail and why it’s even more important now.
