Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is the process of proactively designing parts, components or products for ease of manufacturing and assembly with an end goal of making a better product at a lower cost. This is done by simplifying, optimizing and refining the product design.
At Krafter’s, DFM uses various analysis on parameters like gate location, shrinkage, heat mapping, pressure, material flow etc to identify and take corrective action to avoid various moulding defects such as warpage, air traps, short shorts, weld-lines etc, resulting in no surprises after manufacturing.
