Whether designing a new product or value engineering an existing product, we employ DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) principles. DFMA ensures that products are designed to be manufactured and assembled as easily and cost-effectively as possible, including:

• Designing a product without unnecessary features that lengthen or
  complicate the manufacturing cycle
• Setting tolerances tight enough to guarantee part fit-up but not too tight
  to be held
• Combining components to eliminate assembly operations
• Designing assemblies to be self-fixturing
• Limiting the number of fasteners required in an assembly
• Making fasteners easily accessible to the assembler
