To provide an overview of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) techniques, which are used to minimize product cost through design and process improvements.
Design for Assembly
DFA is the method of design of the product for ease of assembly.
DFA is a tool used to assist the design teams in the design of products that will transition to productions at a minimum cost, focusing on the number of parts, handling and ease of assembly.
Design for Manufacturing
DFM is the method of design for ease of manufacturing of the collection of parts that will form the product after assembly.
DFA is a tool used to select the most cost effective material and process to be used in the production in the early stages of product design.
