Quick student answer
Which of the following is a key principle of Design for Manufacture (DfM)?
Direct answer
Minimizing the number of parts in a product is a key principle of Design for Manufacture (DfM).
Key terms
- Tolerances: The permissible limit of variation in a physical dimension, crucial for ensuring parts fit together correctly.
- CAD (Computer-Aided Design): Software used to create precision drawings or technical illustrations, enhancing the design process.
Common trap
