DFMA, or Design for Manufacturing and Assembly, aims to enhance product manufacturability and assemblability while considering functionality, appearance, and reliability. It focuses on reducing costs, shortening production time, and improving overall quality. Part I What’s the Concept of DFMA?1. Man Read More

Did you know that a component doesn't add value but is crucial and essential for products? That component is the fastener. In a product, a fastener's role is simply to hold parts together and has little impact on functionality. However, producing fasteners like bolts and nuts can be time-consuming a Read More

Incorporate standard parameters into your part design, and maintain consistency wherever possible. Why? Using standardized parameters like hole diameter, taper, thread size and pitch, gear module and pressure angle, arc radius, and groove dimensions allows the use of standard tooling, clamps, and me Read More

Product design is the core of the entire industry chain, creating the most added value, while product manufacturing, at the bottom of the chain, generates the least added value.This is because product design, being central and crucial to product development, determines the cost, quality, and develop Read More

The smallest design decisions can greatly impact the cost of CNC machined parts. Do you know how a few adjustments to your part design can reduce costs? Take a look at these five design tips covering processing holes, manufacturing surfaces, and part depth. 1. Adding a processing holeAdding a proces Read More

During assembly, operators frequently complained that some parts were difficult to pick up, either because they were too small or too heavy, resulting in reduced assembly efficiency. How can designers improve this to make parts easier for operators to handle? Here is some advice:1. Parts shall not b Read More

Do you know methods to enhance manufacturing efficiency for CNC parts? Here are four CNC machining clamp design tips. It's crucial for parts to facilitate easy clamping, ensuring precise positioning and secure fastening. This reduces setup time, thereby enhancing both manufacturing efficiency and qu Read More

Designing products is a complex task that requires consideration of multiple factors, such as product structure, material selection, final applications, and competitor products. Another vital element is the manufacturing process requirements for part design. You may wonder why the manufacturing proc Read More
