How can you optimize the use of snap-fit joints in design for assembly?
Snap-fit joints are one of the most common and versatile methods of joining parts in product design. They can reduce assembly time, cost, and complexity, while providing a secure and reversible connection. However, designing snap-fit joints that perform well and last long requires careful attention to several factors, such as material, geometry, stress, and environment. In this article, you will learn how to optimize the use of snap-fit joints in design for assembly, and what are some best practices and benchmarks to follow.
