Iron-Out Inefficiencies
Our team of engineers review product designs from a manufacturing perspective and provide a comprehensive Design For Manufacture report. A DFM advises on how best to reduce inefficiencies in a design, saving time and therefore money.
Key considerations such as unit price, durability, scalability, productionisation (modifying the prototype into a version that can be easily mass-produced) are all taken into account during the DFM. We help designers to avoid any possible issues that could make it tricky or pricey to manufacture further down the line.
Advantages of a Design for Manufacture
A DFM from BEC Group’s experience is one of the best places to invest time when finalising a design for production. Overall, the process aims to reduce production costs whilst maintaining or improving part quality. A DFM can also make production quicker, identify opportunities for automation, reduce cycle times during production, reduce material costs and reduce labour costs. Investing in a DFM can pay dividends down the line in manufacturing.
