Manufacturability
Creating a high performing mold is a vital part of the injection molding process, but can be a challenging. While one might think liquid plastic simply takes on the shape of the mold it’s injected into, a strong initial design and innovative techniques are vital to consistent part production.
The goal of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is to reduce manufacturing costs without reducing quality or performance.
Injection molding is an incredibly efficient and accurate way to produce and enhance parts of all shapes and sizes. If you want to optimize the manufacturability of a part for injection molding, you will need to understand the different aspects and details of this process.
In the manufacturing industry, a commonly used acronym is DFM. It stands for design for manufacturing and it refers to the various factors going into a design so that it can be manufactured at the lowest cost possible without sacrificing quality. When a product is designed for manufacturing, the goals are to reduce cost by…
