What will I learn?
The Design for Manufacturing Course shows you how to turn a basic handheld mixer into a streamlined, production-ready design. Learn to reduce part count, simplify fastening, select cost-effective materials, and design for injection moulding. Practice mapping assembly, testing, and factory flow, apply DFM and DFA principles, and document changes with clear metrics, standards, and quality checkpoints for faster, more reliable production.
