Program Overview
Overview
Design for manufacturing (DFM) is the general engineering practice that focuses on creating products at lower costs by optimising the selection of materials and manufacturing processes early in the design process. The exact processes used in manufacturing the product will depend on what product is being designed and produced. The advantages of DFM include: lower production cost, quicker time-to-market, faster production time, and reduction in assembly steps and quantity of parts. This specialisation will equip students with needed skills and practical understanding, from creating conceptual designs in CAD packages to understanding the latest manufacturing processes and how products can be designed to take advantage of these processes.
