In broadest terms, Design for Manufacturability (DfM) — also known as Design for Manufacturing — is the process of consciously and proactively designing products to optimize all facets of manufacturing, including injection molding. DfM aligns engineering and production in the initial design phase so potential problems can be identified and resolved before they result in costly rework.
DfM analysis arms specially trained injection molding engineers with project insights that save manufacturers time and money by identifying:
Key professionals find DfM analysis to be a powerful tool in better understanding their project:
DESIGN ENGINEERS — particularly those less well-versed in manufacturing processes — use it to evaluate new product designs from a plastics manufacturability standpoint. DfM analysis also serves as a touchpoint for further project collaboration with Kaysun engineers.
PURCHASING AND SOURCING PROFESSIONALS use DfM analysis to determine part manufacturability and which design aspects can be optimized to decrease cost, as well as for production schedule planning.
In conjunction with design review, trained DfM engineers evaluate how the part is intended to interact with the mold. Mold simulation software is used to assess the process and pinpoint potential risk (poor cooling, extended molding cycles, warping). Based on this data, design solutions are developed that include gate locations, parting lines and other factors that influence part functionality and aesthetics.
A finalized part design is not required for DfM analysis. In fact, introducing DfM analysis before a project nears completion is ideal since there’s still flexibility to make any necessary changes, either to the design or sourcing.
The only required project information is:
