If you create a design that’s aesthetically perfect, but has features that cause it to be inefficient in terms of manufacturing, you’ve missed your target. 

For instance, maybe a small size change will allow parts to nest more efficiently. In terms of design, it makes no practical, aesthetic or functionality difference, but suddenly tooling becomes 25% more cost-effective.

Or maybe your initial design approach calls for vacuum forming, but injection molding tools would make more sense in terms of accuracy, part count, and manufacturing costs.

These kinds of questions need to be asked from day one. Formero can streamline your Design for Manufacture conduct by understanding how each part of the design is going to affect development and manufacturing down the line.

We also offer a Moldflow Analysis service that can  significantly accelerate the product development process.
