DFM (Design for Manufacture)

Design for Manufacture (DFM) is a design approach aimed at making products easier and more cost-effective to produce. It involves considering manufacturing processes and materials during the design phase, ensuring that the product can be made efficiently and with minimal resource waste. By anticipating production challenges and optimizing the design for the available manufacturing methods, DFM helps reduce production costs, improves product quality, and shortens time to market. Essentially, it bridges the gap between design and production, making it easier for manufacturers to turn ideas into reality.
