Die casting automobile armrest support bracket

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is a term often used in engineering. It refers to the process of optimizing production to

make it as simple and cost-effective as possible. DFM focuses heavily on the manufacturing methods and processes used.

One of the main advantages of DFM is that it allows problems with the production method to be detected and solved early on

in the design phase. At this stage, issues are much less expensive to resolve than when they are discovered during or after

the production run. Applying DFM techniques allows for a reduction in the costs of manufacturing while maintaining a good or

better standard of quality.

In order to optimize the production process of aluminum die casts, the following objectives should be targeted:

1.Use the least amount of casting material possible,

2.Ensure that the part or product will easily come out of the die,

3.Minimize the solidification time for a casting,

4.Reduce as much as possible the number of secondary operations, 

5.Ensure that the final product will perform as required.
