Design for Manufacturability

Hours of testing, analysis, and rework can be saved by up-front collaboration with your contract manufacturer…not to mention the frustration that comes with sub-par results in your finished products. DFM for your metal stampings and plastic molded components gives you confidence from the start that your parts program will be well-executed and profitable.

Speaking of profitability, without DFM, you not only run the risk of scrapping defective parts, but you may also be putting your tooling investment in jeopardy. Without the intersection of optimized part design and robust tooling design, your stamping dies and insert molds are at risk for damage, which can cost many thousands of dollars to fix and impact your ability to deliver on time.

There’s an old saying that goes like this: “A stitch in time saves nine.” In our world, that’s what DFM does. Taking the time to do proper engineering and operations setup from the very beginning means that your product line will come out smoothly from the first run to the thousandth…and beyond. Minimal required changes in the early stages of production help us hit the ground running.

The value of your brand and the viability of your business’s future depend on the quality of the parts you produce. DFM sets quality up for success, so your reputation and the safety of your product’s end users are both protected.
