👉 Blind engineering, also known as "design for manufacturability" or DFM, is a systematic approach to product development that focuses on optimizing the design of a product to ensure it can be manufactured efficiently, cost-effectively, and with high quality. This methodology involves considering the manufacturing processes, tooling, materials, and assembly methods from the initial design phase, aiming to minimize production costs, reduce waste, and improve product reliability. By anticipating and addressing potential manufacturing challenges early in the design process, engineers can avoid costly redesigns and rework later on, leading to more robust and economically viable products. Blind engineering integrates input from various disciplines, including design, manufacturing, and quality control, to create a holistic approach that balances performance, functionality, and manufacturability.
