In bringing a new product to market, it is a progressive process to consider and then optimize mechanical designs for manufacturability. Early on, it’s critical to learn the fundamentals of what can and cannot be manufactured. But there’s another step in the learning process: what can be done, but probably shouldn’t be done.

“大量精力”设计可能会导致高成本,较长的交货时间和较低的收益,而“低努力”设计导致加工设置较少,机器可用性较高,工具速度更快和废料较少 - 这意味着成本较低,更快的速度交货时间。

This webinar will dive into topics from Fictiv’s DFM for CNC Master Class.

You’ll walk away knowing:

  • The 5 design parameters that contribute to manufacturing effort for CNC machining
  • What materials to use for least effort machining
  • How to design part geometry to simplify machining and limit the number of setups required
  • How to leverage stock materials to make certain geometries low effort
  • How to define tolerance and look and feel to avoid unnecessary costs and lead times
  • Techniques for reducing effort even at the edge of manufacturability
