Design for Manufacture (DFM)

Design for Manufacture (DFM) is a planning approach that focuses on designing products in a way that makes them easier and more cost-effective to produce. It involves considering manufacturing processes, materials, and assembly methods early in the design stage to reduce complexity, minimize production costs, and ensure quality. By integrating manufacturing insights during design, companies can streamline production, reduce waste, and shorten time-to-market, ultimately creating products that are practical to produce at scale without compromising functionality or quality.
