The need for Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) began shortly after the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, but it took a hundred years for it to ultimately come into focus in the 1960s, and it ...

Building mechanical constraints into design decisions ensures smooth transition from prototype to production without ...

From adding thin walls to raised text to “non-threadable” holes, subtractive manufacturing such as CNC milling is not without its mishaps. Here are ways to avoid some of the most common DfM don’ts. As ...

Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme (Bobingen, Germany) was founded in 1991 by Rudolf M. Hufschmied and his son, Ralph, as an industrial agency for technology products in the field of machining. Initially, ...

Manufacturing businesses like machine shops, and the supply chains that serve them, have multiple moving parts that can be managed efficiently from a well-designed workspace. Designing a ...

More aggressive feature scaling and increasingly complex transistor structures are driving a steady increase in process complexity, increasing the risk that a specified pattern may not be ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

Screw rotor systems are critical components in compressors, vacuum pumps and various heavy-duty machinery. Their design and subsequent machining require an intricate balance between theoretical ...
