Design for Manufacturing & Assembly Guide

This document discusses design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA). It defines DFMA as a communication and benchmarking tool that encourages concurrent engineering. DFMA analyzes how design impacts manufacturing and assembly costs and complexity. The principles of design for manufacturing include simplifying processes, standardizing parts, designing for efficient joining, and selecting materials for manufacturability. Design for assembly principles minimize part count, design self-locating and self-fastening features, and emphasize modular design. Benefits of DFMA include shorter development times, better quality, easier production transition, and effective risk management.

Design For X (DFX)
• A successful design must consider all relevant considerations
throughout the life cycle of a product by analyzing the
causes and effects of the product.
• A common set of design guidelines for X includes:
• Assembly
• Environment
• Manufacturing
• Quality
• Reliability
• Safety
• Serviceability
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

• Concerned with reducing overall part production


cost

• Minimize complexity of manufacturing

• Use common axes and common processes


Design for Assembly (DFA)

• Concerned with reducing product assembly cost

• Minimize number and complexity of assembly operations

• Individual parts may be more complex in design


DFMA
• Communication tool for the team

• Bench marking tool

• Defines the design and manufacturing capabilities

• Encourages concurrent engineering


Principles of DFM
• Simplify and reduce the number of manufacturing
operations
• Standardize materials and use common parts
• Design for efficient joining
• Open tolerance as much as possible
• Allow over-travel in part design
• Avoid special tooling and frequent tool changes
• Select materials for best manufacturability
• Specify ‘acceptable’ surface finish for functionality
• Machine for one primary axis whenever possible
Principles of DFA
• Minimize part count

• Design parts with self-locating features

• Design parts with self-fastening features

• Minimize reorientation of parts during assembly

• Emphasize ‘top-down’ assemblies

• Standardize parts

• Encourage modular design


DFMA Team
Multidisciplinary teams

• Design engineers

• Manufacturing engineers
