Description
Design for manufacturing or DFM is a very important practical activity in Mechanical design engineering.
Converting concept into designs which can be manufactured and ready for implementation is a key skill in product development.
This course attempts to cover the basics of designing for manufacturing including selecting a suitable process based on various criteria and designing for the process to reduce cost and improve ease of manufacturing .
Topics covered are
• Importance of Process selection
• Parameters and Criteria for selection
• Comparison of processes
• Process- Shape matrix
• Section wall thickness and Tolerance ranges
• Cost associated
• Part complexity and part cost
• Prototyping vs production
• Case studies in process selection
• Designing for Forging - principles and guidelines
• Designing for Casting - principles and guidelines
• Design for Injection Molding - Principles and guidelines.
• Exercises to practice
The learning outcome of this course is to develop a strong basic comparative understanding of various processes and get started with designing as per certain processes to build DFM skills for mechanical design & product development.
Course will be best suitable for Mechanical design engineers who want to level up their DFM knowledge and skills .
