Design For Manufacturability (DFM)

Critical Importance of DFM for Stamping and Plating

Optimal design for manufacturability is always important – and absolutely essential in the high-volume production of stamped/plated components.

Details matter. When you have subcontracted the manufacture of millions of parts a month, even the smallest inefficiencies in design or tooling can multiply into significant costs and/or delays. They all add up.

Getting expert technical DFM advice from experienced stamping and plating specialist Batten & Allen optimises quality, reduces costs and shortens time to market.

DFM makes it quicker, easier and more cost-effective to stamp and plate components at scale – while simultaneously enhancing quality and consistency.

Start DFM As Soon As Possible

For the best results, implement DFM as early as possible in the design process.

There’s nothing more frustrating than being told of a cost or time saving that you could have had – but will now lose – because you unwittingly committed to a design feature that now cannot be changed.
