| Design for Manufacturability |
Our ability to understand the functionality of the components we produce and translate this understanding into suggestions to finding better ways of doing things often produces dramatic results for our customers. As a result, our customers get us involved early in the design process because decisions made during this critical phase of a project can determine 70% of the cost of the product. Even more importantly, decisions made in the first 5 % of product design often determine the vast majority of the product’s cost, quality and manufacturability.
To help our customers capitalize on the benefits of DFM, Whirlaway has invested heavily in DFM expertise, in-house tooling and the ability to design and build our own equipment for prototyping. As a result, we are uniquely qualified to help you:
-
Reduce the number of parts in a design
- Design foolproof assemblies
- Verify products and processes
- Avoid unnecessarily tight tolerances
- Design robustness into products and processes
- Design for parts orientation, handling and ease of assembly
- Evaluate use of alternative materials
- Design modular products to facilitate assembly
- And more….
