Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

 Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) is a combination of DFA and DFM.

 DFMA tool ( software) is used for three main activities:

 As a guiding tool assist design team in simplifying the product structure by reducing
manufacturing and assembly costs

 As a benchmarking tool to study competitors’ products and quantify manufacturing


and assembly difficulties

 As a should-cost tool to help control costs and to help negotiate suppliers contracts.

Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

 Major Manufacturing Cost Models


 Assembly Fabrication, Automatic Assembly, Blow Molding, Die Casting, Plastic
Extrusion, Hot Forging, Injection Molding, Investment Casting, Machining,
PCBA, Sand Casting, Sheet Metal, Foam Molding, Thermoforming, Custom
User Processes, and many others fully included.

 Fully Populated Operations, Machine, and Material Libraries.

 Manufacturing Profiles - Compare costs across different regions or suppliers.

 Product assembly cost and process time details- Analytical data

 Input to the software


 Manual inputs from drawings
 STL, STEP, IGES Formats.
 Output : Reports such as Cost Breakdown, Cost vs. Life Volume Graphs.

DFMA

 Prerequisite for using software for industry application is

 Awareness of the machining processes ( milling, drilling etc.,), components


manufacturing processes ( plastic, sheet metal, die casting etc.,), jigs and
fixture, Tool and Dies, assembly of products, and typical costing(features) line
items

 Exposure to PCB and PCBA and wire harness details

 Awareness of the product and its assemblies

DFMA

Tutorial
 Assembly fabrication : Joining processes such as welding or
riveting to create a fabricated assembly.

 Cable harness assembly : The assembly of the harness can


be analysed using the operations contained in DFA’s
Operation Library,

 Deep Drawing : Sheet metal deep drawing exercise

 Die-casting : Costing of Die casting

DFMA

Tutorial

 Sheet metal : Analysis for sheet metal with turret press and
a compound die

 Pcb : The first step in the manufacture of the printed circuit


board assembly is the fabrication of the bare circuit board

 Machining full : Machining of components with holding


fixtures of work-piece

BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus


DFMA

Tutorial
 Machining quick : Full machining analysis and a Quick estimates
when detailed knowledge of machining operations for ball park
quotes

 Machining cell :A machining cell is normally a group of machines


where the parts output from the first machine in the cell feeds the
parts input to the second machine in the cell, whose parts output
feeds the third machine, and so on throughout the cell.

 Performing analysis : Analyse a small assembly in the DFA Product


Simplification software and then we redesign that assembly by
combining or eliminating parts to simplify the product structure.
The original and redesigned products are then compared using the
results features that are incorporated into the DFA software

DFMA

Tutorial
 Operation library : Any of your custom operation can be added to the library and then later
used in your analyses.

 Develop-User-Process : The User process program allows you to install into the DFM
Concurrent Costing software your own cost model for a manufacturing process.
