Design for Manufacture and Assembly

Design for Manufacture and Assembly is a product design review process involving step-by-step assessment of manufacturability issues.

Concepts NREC has created cost data curves for every component we have designed. Your company probably has similar data. DFMA® puts Concepts NREC and/or your cost data at the disposal of your designers. The designer can trade performance and life versus cost data during product design.

Concepts NREC has worked with Boothroyd Dewhurst, Inc. (BDI) to make BDI's unique products for Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA®) an integral part of Concepts NREC's Agile Engineering Design System® for turbomachinery.

  • Design for Assembly (DFA)
  • Design for Manufacture (DFM)
  • Design for Service (DFS)
  • Design For Environment (DFE)

Develop better products faster with integrated solutions from BDI and Concepts NREC.

  • Simplify products through parts reduction
  • Estimate production parts cost during the design process
  • Predict assembly time and cost early in the product development cycle
  • Reduce manufacturing and assembly costs
  • Improve product quality
  • Speed time to market
  • Enhance product competitiveness
  • Reduce drafting department overload
