‘Dfma’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
DFMA 2009 features design-for-environment tools from
Boothroyd Dewhurst, which we summarised at the time by saying "Boothroyd Dewhurst has added design-for-environment tools to its Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) 2009 software.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Software helps boost factory profitability from
Boothroyd Dewhurst: "By simplifying product designs, Hypertherm has decreased labour expenses by 70% on redesigned products. ".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Boothroyd Dewhurst
- take a look at Manufacturing design forum announced
which says: "Boothroyd Dewhurst will host the twenty-second annual International Forum on Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA), on 19th -20th June, 2007. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Boothroyd Dewhurst, Design software improved with added tools,
as well as Forum focuses on design for manufacture from Boothroyd Dewhurst,
and DFMA software to help fuel cell production from Boothroyd Dewhurst.
