Long Title: | Design for Manufacturability |
|
| |
Course Description: | Provides students with an understanding on how to design a product for test, assembly, service, rebuild/reuse/recycle, postponement and several other product attributes. The student learns the role and development of design specifications, the importance and benefits of DFM, the design rules and their application, the design/manufacturing integration, the concept of designed-in quality, the role of design tolerances, the need for standard part use and the application and importance of concurrent engineering practices. In addition the student learns the application of tools CAD, CAM, CAB, PDMS and CIM in product development. |
