Why Product Developers Need DFM Before Manufacturing
A great design can still fail during manufacturing .
That is why DFM (Design for Manufacturing)matters .
Before production, engineers review:
✓Material selection
✓Manufacturing process
✓Tolerance requirements
✓Assembly methods
✓Cost optimization
A few changes during the design stage can save weeks of production time .
Manufacturing problems are easier to solve before they happen .
