Pioneers In CAD And Engineering Manufacture SoftwareThe Pantheon and the Colosseum are two important historical structures in Rome, Italy. They are not products of modern day engineering, but they quite easily marvel modern day engineers. These fascinating structures were built more than two millennia ago with tools that are far too primitive, when compared with […]

BOM Mistakes Every CAD Designer MakesAs a CAD designer, have you ever asked yourself why BOMs are so complex to understand? The term BOM (Bill of Materials) is used to define a list of raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each one of these inputs required in the manufacturing of […]

Improving DFM

Posted on: November 18, 2019

Improving Design for Manufacturing (DFM)Kashyap Vyas in Machine Design suggests that manufacturers spend one-third to one-half their time fixing errors, and close to 24 percent of those errors are related to manufacturability. Therefore, there is plenty of wasted time, money, and material due to mistakes. The positive news is that by following principles of design for manufacturing (DFM) […]
