The Madison Group invites you to their event
About this event
Injection molding is often used to help mass manufacture complex dimensionally stable parts. A significant portion of the part cost is often determined by the component design. The use of traditional design for manufacturing (DFM) has helped designers optimize the individual manufacturability and cost of a component, but can often ignore changes in the design that may diminish the overall performance of the component in the end assembly. This webinar will move the conversation beyond basic part design rules and discuss how looking at the component design and end assembly may drive design decisions that could influence the manufacturability of the part.
At the conclusion of this presentation, you will understand:
Directly following this event we will host a live Q&A session for up to 30 minutes to cover DFM related questions.
