Design for manufacturability (DFM) involves optimizing all manufacturing functions like fabrication, assembly, testing, and repair to ensure the lowest costs and highest quality, reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction while meeting regulations. It also aims to prevent design limitations from hindering new product introductions, deliveries, improvement programs, or strategic initiatives, and allows flexibility to respond to changes in demand. The document discusses three proposals to improve manufacturability: breaking a complex part into simpler components that are easier to produce; allowing for tool radii by not designing sharp, square inside corners; and building up a part from three pieces to facilitate milling pockets and keeping corners sharp using shorter end mills.
