DFM
= Design for Manufacturability
= Design to ease manufacture of parts that will
form product after assembly
Right or Wrong?

Manufacture

Assemble
 Manufacture =

•= Production of individual component parts of Product

•Examples:
•Castings
•Forgings
•Machining
•Molded Plastic Parts
•Sheet Metal Parts
•Pressure Die Castings …………
‘To assemble’

= “Addition / joining of parts to form completed product.”

DFA :

= Design for Assembly

= Design of product for ease of assembly
