Product Development & DFM

Design optimization for manufacturing feasibility, cost, and quality.

Overview

What It Is

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review ensures your product can be produced consistently, cost-effectively, and at the quality level your market demands. We analyze designs before tooling investment, identifying issues that would cause production problems.

When You Need It

Before committing to tooling or production investment
When transitioning from prototype to production
After experiencing manufacturing quality issues
When cost reduction requires design changes

Outputs

Deliverables

DFM analysis report with specific recommendations

Material selection guidance with supplier options

Tolerance analysis and GD&T review

Cost estimation at various production volumes

Supplier capability matching assessment

Prototype development coordination

Risks

What Can Go Wrong

Design requires tolerances suppliers cannot hold consistently

Material specifications don't match available supply

Assembly sequence creates quality variation

Cost targets impossible at specified quality level

Mitigation

How Canrocus Mitigates

We review designs against actual supplier capabilities before tooling. Our engineering team has direct experience with Taiwan and China manufacturing processes. We identify issues when changes are cheap, not after tooling is cut.

Documentation
