What are some strategies for selecting the right manufacturing processes for your mechanical designs?

Choose optimal manufacturing processes by: 1. Material Analysis: Match materials to suitable processes. 2. Design for Manufacturability: Align designs with feasible processes. 3. Cost Consideration: Balance quality with cost-effective methods. 4. Prototyping: Test processes through prototypes. 5. Supplier Collaboration: Consult manufacturers for insights. 6. Technology Integration: Embrace advanced manufacturing technologies. 7. Scalability: Ensure processes align with production scale. 8. Environmental Impact: Assess processes for sustainability.

Step one: know what you're building and why you're building it. Do not make something without thoroughly completing this step. This includes the market segment price, desired margin and R&D budget. If this is purely done by your company management team, they gotta sell it or your product won't get out the door or will flounder on the open market. Step two: break down your POC technical product design into its basic manufactured components. Which components are requirements driven, and which aren't (e.g metal Vs plastic). Step three: simplify by eliminating any unnecessary costs/superfluous processes and combine what you can. Last step: once you know exactly what you want to make, then you can pick the appropriate manufacturing process.

Die strukturierte Formulierung der Anforderungen ist entscheidend für eine erfolgreiche Behandlung der übergeordneten Aufgabe: - Prim?re Funktionen des Bauteils definieren - Verwendungszweck bestimmen (Prototyp, Erprobungstr?ger, Vorserie, Serie) - Branche (Industrie, Marine, Baumaschinen, Hebezeuge & Krane, Luftfahrt) und relevante Regelwerke definieren - Potentielle Konstruktionsl?sungen erarbeiten und nach anwendbaren Fertigungsverfahren gliedern - Zielkosten festlegen

Desired quantity and timing of production might be as much of a driver as material properties or surface finish. Plastics can be reinforced or electroplated in some cases to be used in place of a metal piece. As the desired number of pieces per day increases, the choice of material and production process can and should change.

Os requisitos do projeto é parte fundamental para se determinar se os recursos disponíveis ( equipamentos, matérias primas,m?o de obra ) na fabrica??o da organiza??o tem condi??es de produzir conforme as especifica??es do projeto.

O projeto deve envolver os seguintes itens : - cria??o software prevendo condi??es prévias : tipo de estrada, rua, etc. , tipo de piso, varia??es de velocidade, numeros passageiros, peso total veiculo mais quantidade passageiros ou seja os cenários que v?o existir; - Sistemas existentes no auto devem ser integrados -Atender as regulamenta??es existentes; - Selecionar todos os componentes que se adaptam ao projeto do software Na parte de testes temos as seguintes condi??es : - Simula??es e prototipagem; - Testes de usabilidade; - Teste de Integra??o ; - Testes de Desempenho; - Testes de SEguran?a e Confiabilidade.

Consider cost, efficiency, scalability, environmental impact, and regulatory compliance when comparing manufacturing process alternatives.

O passo seguinte é detalhar a sequencia do processo de fabrica??o, levando em considera??o itens como : econ?mico, disponibilidade de máquina, custo do processo, meio ambiente, custo de mao de obra especializada ou n?o, logistica, tempo de processo, etc,

Hay que tener en cuenta todo eso y no buscar un tercero que lo fabrique por ti a bajo coste y a saber en qué condiciones,no se puede hacer todo cerca de donde se emsambla?

Considering the trade-off in manufacturing process with Balancing cost, time, and quality trade-offs is crucial in the manufacturing process decision-making.

Ensure the chosen manufacturing process aligns with cost, efficiency, quality, and environmental goals through thorough validation and testing.

Para obtermos com êxito um processo produtivo robusto e sem falhas, devemos definir inicialmente uma equipe focada e com competência para realizar o desenvolvimento de tal. A equipe deve ser composta por uma pessoa responsável pelo projeto, e depois subordinados de diversas áreas (Qualidade, Enga Processo, Enga Produto, Usinagem, Montagem e Custos). Como disse o pensador Eder Medeiros "Duas cabe?as pensam melhor que uma. Mas é preciso que elas pensem em conjunto para se alcan?ar o resultado pretendido".

How many do you need to make? This is crucial as the process can influence the speed of your output. Also, some metho dss s are more expensive than others. This probably belongs in the trade offs section, in fairness.

In this day and age almost everything is designed with 3D modelling software. The approach I follow is to start with the base material and subsequently subtract the materials to get to the final product. This method I always try to convey to younger engineers who have never actually worked with material processing machines. During the design process you then discover if you can manufacture using conventional methods or go down the route of casting / forging. A simple but effective procedure during the design.
