Products are safer when suppliers have a hand in their development, be it at the raw materials, components, sub-assembly preparation, design, manufacturing or distribution stage. The faster and more reliable the robots, the higher the manufacturing output in automated lines. In the aerospace industry, it's a huge driver for improved assembly, better design, and drastically improved costs. Metcam (Alpharetta, GA), a fabricator of sheet metal components and assemblies for OEMs, recently announced it has completed implementation of a number of improvements, from plant configuration changes and floor space expansion to installation of more than $2 million in new equipment. Temperature resistance is a fundamental requirement across a vast range of applications in manufacturing. And here, again, the most modern assembly and sealing technologies can bring new robot design opportunities. Requirements of a Successful Re-manufactured Product. Metcam also assists clients with product design and manufacturability to reduce their total cost of production. DFMA 2006 software guides engineers through the process of simplifying a product design, then quickly estimates assembly labor and part manufacturing costs.

In fact, there's a simple six-step process to streamline the thinking processes necessary to design, price and sell a complex custom product. Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly. Geoffrey Boothroyd, Peter Dewhurst, Winston Knight. When engineering delays occur, the cost of the finished product goes up, production gets backlogged, deliveries get delayed and customers get impatient. Hardly a great way to sell “made in Canada.” Related: Why it's not always cheaper to source internationally. It doesn't have to be this way. Sustainable product design should aim at creating a system of product development that is Closed Loop, Environmentally friendly and Economically viable.Sustainable design tools should consider Dis -assembly of whole product.
