What Is DFM? Why Design for Manufacturability Is Critical in Modern Manufacturing
Many engineers are well-versed in design for manufacturability (DFM) when it comes to injection molded plastics – a process that demands uniquely optimized designs, even for basic products. But DFM is obviously not limited to only plastic materials. Whether you’re...
Designing for Manufacturability – Part 5: Manufacturing Location
Designing for Manufacturability – Part 5: Manufacturing Location Fifteen or twenty years ago, things were a lot different. The world was a lot smaller. Manufacturing offshore was a very foreign thing (no pun intended). The USA was the leader in manufacturing. However,...
