Design for Manufacturing and Assembly Training Workshop by Tonex
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly Training Workshop: Translate product intent into manufacturable features, fasteners, and assembly sequences that reduce variation and cost. Use DFM/A checklists, tolerancing strategies, and ergonomic risk screens. Cybersecurity topics address the integrity of digital work instructions and CAD-to-production data exchange. Enhance cybersecurity by applying access controls, change management, and provenance checks to prevent unauthorized edits that create latent assembly failures.
The Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) Training Workshop by Tonex is an intensive, hands-on program designed to equip professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to streamline product design and manufacturing processes. This workshop focuses on integrating design and manufacturing practices to enhance product quality, reduce costs, and shorten time-to-market. Participants will learn to apply DFMA principles to optimize product design, improve manufacturability, and simplify assembly operations. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, case studies, and real-world applications to ensure a comprehensive understanding of DFMA methodologies.
