What is Design for Assembly (DFA)?

Design for Assembly (DFA) is a methodology used to simplify product assembly, reduce assembly costs, and improve product quality. It focuses on minimizing the number of parts, simplifying part handling and insertion, and designing parts with self-locating and self-fastening features. The goal is to make the assembly process as efficient and error-proof as possible, which ultimately leads to faster production times, lower labor costs, and more reliable products. It is commonly used in manufacturing industries.
