Early-stage companies face difficult trade-off challenges when transitioning from design and build of one to two units to larger-scale production. At high volumes (i.e., 10,000+ units), the Design for ...

Product design engineers today face so many pressures associated with cost and turn-around time, that manufacturing considerations sometimes end up on the back burner. MD+DI recently interviewed three ...

In the high-stakes landscape of precision engineering, the transition from a conceptual CAD model to a tangible functional part is often fraught with hidden complexities. For engineers and product ...

Design for Manufacturability (DfM) is a proactive process to design parts, components, or products for ease of manufacturing with an end goal of making a better product at a lower overall cost. It is ...

One of the major challenges with how designers and engineers consider DFM is a lack of transparency into the machine shops and manufacturing processes themselves. By building a holistic approach to ...

Manufacturing issues are one of the top reasons that we see warranty returns and loss of market share in the electronics industry. Issues like supply chain failures and printed circuit board assembly ...

True design for manufacturability (DFM) at 65-nm and below technology nodes has become more critical due to the shrinking of the critical dimensions of structures on the chip where the same absolute ...
