Design for Manufacturing Services
At CMDI, our design for manufacturing services help you move beyond the prototype phase and into effcient, cost-effective production. We work with OEMs, engineers, and product developers to refine rubber component designs for better manufacturability, shorter timelines, and smoother scale-ups.
CMDI's DFM process ensures every rubber component goes through the same high quality production process over the long run. This ensures that products engineered to meet the demands of their intended environments perform as expected, whether that means withstanding extreme temperatures, insulating senstive electronics, or performing reliably in high-use industrial equipment. We collaborate with manufacturers from concept through production to refine designs, reduce waste, and streamline assembly, delivering durable precision-molded rubber parts that meet your schedule and cost goals.
What Is Design for Manufacturing (DFM)?
Design for manfucaturing (DFM) is a strategic process that improves a product's readiness for production by evaluating materials, tolerances, assembly steps, and cost factors early in development. At CMDI, we use DFM to identify potential issues and opportunities before tooling begins, saving you time and reducing waste.
