What is Design for Manufacture?
Here at Pentagon the first stage of any new enquiry is what we call a DFM, this is a basic product review looking at the part from a Design for Manufacture perspective.

The full DFM review encompasses the following elements:

1. Mouldability – to ensure all features can be produced as a moulded part

2. Undercuts – access whether any features will prevent a conventional open/shut tool

3. Drafting – check suitable draft is applied to suit surface texture and tool function

4. Aesthetics – access whether any features will cause visual imperfections when moulded

5. Process Flow Analysis – support software to identify any process issues or concerns.

Once we have reviewed the product(s) our experts will collate a report for the customer highlighting any potential design issues that need to be considered, recommendation to aid the moulding process and any potentially cost saving opportunities.

Our recommendations may include material selection, shut-off areas, feed points, drafting, surface finish and maintaining even wall sections. These suggestions can potentially provide customers with cost savings on initial tooling as well as ongoing production and the opportunity to optimise the process often providing a higher quality finished product.
