Design Engineering

Did you know that 70% of a product’s cost is determined during the design phase? This crucial stage shapes the materials, processes, and complexity of manufacturing, making it the single most important point to drive cost savings and efficiency.

What if you could confidently investigate and refine numerous design approaches, ensuring that every decision moves you closer to a product that is both innovative and cost-effective?

With DFMA, you can do just that. From reducing unnecessary parts to optimizing materials and processes, DFMA empowers your design team to make decisions backed by real data, saving time, reducing costs, and ensuring manufacturability from the start.

Why the Design Phase is Critical

Consider this: Every material chosen, every process selected, and every assembly step planned during design has a ripple effect. Changes made later in the development cycle are exponentially more expensive. That’s why early-stage decisions are crucial for:

• Minimizing total part count and complexity
• Ensuring processes are optimized for manufacturing
• Reducing labor-intensive operations
• Achieving cost savings that impact the bottom line

By incorporating DFMA tools, you can ensure that every decision aligns with the ultimate goal: delivering high-quality products at the lowest possible cost.

What DFMA Can Do for You

Here’s how DFMA transforms the way you work:

• Visualize cost drivers early in the design phase
• Quickly compare alternative designs and processes
• Generate reports and documentation to communicate with your team and stakeholders
• Enable collaboration between design and manufacturing teams, reducing delays and misunderstandings

The Power of Proactive Design

Imagine walking into your next design review meeting with comprehensive data at your fingertips. What if you could respond to questions about alternative approaches in real-time, showing the impact of each decision on cost and manufacturability?

This is the power of DFMA. By addressing potential challenges early and presenting solutions supported by hard data, you not only streamline your workflow but also gain the confidence of your team and leadership.

With DFMA, you’re not just designing products—you’re designing success.
