Product Structure Review & DFM Support
Introduction: Pre-tooling review identifies issues that may affect manufacturing, appearance, dimensions, and assembly. A useful DFM is not a one-line statement that a part can be molded; it documents risks, recommendations, assumptions, and open decisions.
Typical review points:
· Wall-thickness changes, sink, and distortion risk
· Undercuts, demolding, and draft
· Parting lines, gates, ejection, and cosmetic surfaces
· Assembly clearance, location, and critical dimensions
· Material and product-geometry compatibility
· Drawing datums, measurement, and acceptance methods
Information required: Latest 3D and 2D data, material, application, assembly relationships, critical dimensions, cosmetic requirements, and estimated volume.
Scope note: Deliverables, review depth, design responsibility, and revision rounds are agreed before the project begins.
