The Difference Between A Great Design And A Great Product

Design for manufacturability is one of the most important principles in modern engineering, yet it’s often overlooked until production begins.

Every engineer has seen it. A component looks perfect on the CAD model. Every dimension is correct and every feature has been carefully considered. The design meets the specification and performs exactly as intended but then somebody tries to manufacture it and suddenly, questions begin to appear.

CAD and CAM software are used to design and operate machinery but the machines then require a final post processor to ensure that the code that reaches them is readable to optimise the machine’s operation.Most engineers are familiar with this process, however, in this post we will explain how the system works so that anyone can understand it.
