Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Definition
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is a design approach focused on optimizing medical devices for efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. It involves considering manufacturing processes, materials, assembly, and quality controls during the design phase to ensure that the device can be produced consistently at scale while meeting regulatory and quality standards.
Relevance to the MedTech Industry
DFM reduces production costs, minimizes errors, and accelerates time-to-market by ensuring that medical devices are easy to manufacture without compromising performance, safety, or compliance. It supports scalable and sustainable production processes while maintaining high-quality standards.
