W H I T E P A P E R SQUEEZE TIME AND MONEY OUT OF PRODUCTION USING DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY Overview Product design does not occur in a vacuum and has a significant impact on manufacturing. In fact, 3D design carries even greater potential for streamlining production processes, especially when you take advantage of Design for Manufacturability tools and applications. With these technologies, you can avoid the manufacturing delays, cost overruns, and shop-floor retrofits that work against your company’s success and competitive position. Design and manufacturing go hand in hand Winning in today’s global marketplace requires more than innovative and creative product designs. To succeed, you must also beat the competition to market, while controlling development costs and maintaining high levels of quality. Accomplishing these goals demands the implementation of efficient and consistent processes throughout the product development cycle. If you create fantastic product designs but experience difficulties in manufacturing, you cannot achieve the healthy profit margins, ambitious production schedules, or consistent product quality that are necessary for your company’s success. 3D product design is an important piece of the manufacturing puzzle because it can truly make your manufacturing processes run like clockwork. In addition to helping you shorten design cycles, a 3D design platform that incorporates Design for Manufacturability (DFM) tools and applications can help you address production pitfalls by automating and streamlining manufacturing. Whether you are machining parts, building molds, fabricating sheet metal, forging or casting metal components, or assembling pieces and subassemblies, 3D DFM capabilities can help you trim time, cut costs, and improve quality.
