Nptel: Design For Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) For Industrial Design - Web Course

NPTEL Syllabus
Design for Manufacture and Assembly(DFMA)

for Industrial Design - Web course
COURSE OUTLINE
The course is designed to introduce the concept and application for design for
manufacturing and assembly in industrial design for practicing designers and
manufacturing engineers as well as design students (graduate and under graduate) who
are going to play a major role in design and development of various industrial products.
Furthermore, the course helps to analyze product design against various process and
equipment combinations to assess cost and manufacturing lead time. The course includes
various examples and few case studies of real product to demonstrate the importance of
manufacturing and assembly implication to design.
