Not all DfM processes are created equal, especially when it comes to micro molding miniaturized parts and corresponding assemblies. Not only does DfM become more important in smaller parts, but it may also be the crucial factor that determines whether a part is successfully manufactured or remains an unfulfilled concept.

Design for Manufacturing (DfM) is an approach that focuses on designing components to facilitate easier manufacturing, ultimately aiming to produce superior products at a reduced cost. This is achieved by simplifying, optimizing, and refining the product design. By addressing potential issues during the design phase, which is the most cost-effective stage for problem-solving, DfM ensures efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. Key elements like product complexity, dimensional precision, tooling, materials, assembly, and testing are pivotal in shaping manufacturability.

Join us for this presentation where we delve into the essential DfM processes that drive the success of micro molding for small parts and assemblies. Discover:
• Nine examples of successful DfM in developing miniaturized micro molded parts and assemblies
• Proven DfM strategies to address the challenges of miniaturization using micro molding and automated assembly
• Frequently asked questions about tooling, molding and assembly for miniaturized parts and components.
