The difference between a part that looks good and one that can be produced consistently, cost-effectively, and in compliance with regulations comes down to Design for Manufacturing (DFM). In this video, Crescent Industries breaks down everything you need to know about DFM, why it’s critical for injection molded components, and the five core variables we evaluate on every project to ensure repeatable, high-quality production—whether you’re making thousands or millions of parts. 🔹 What is Design for Manufacturing (DFM)? 🔹 Why DFM matters for injection molding 🔹 How DFM reduces tooling risk, cost, and delays 🔹 DFM strategies for medical, biotech, and regulated industries The 5 Core Variables of DFM Covered in This Video: 1️⃣ Part & Mold Design – wall thickness, draft angles, undercuts, tolerances, mold complexity, and long-term part quality 2️⃣ Manufacturing Process Selection – injection molding vs thermoforming, blow molding, or additive manufacturing, plus cycle time optimization and automation 3️⃣ Material Selection – mechanical strength, thermal performance, chemical resistance, regulatory requirements, color, and surface finish 4️⃣ Manufacturing Environment – cleanrooms, ISO-certified environments, controlled humidity, and regulated production conditions 5️⃣ Compliance & Validation – dimensional inspection, functional testing, process validation, FDA/ISO/ITAR documentation When implemented early, DFM helps prevent costly tooling mistakes, eliminate late-stage redesigns, improve time to market, and lower total cost of ownership—especially for high-precision and regulated plastic components. With over 75 years of injection molding experience, Crescent Industries uses DFM as a risk-mitigation tool to help customers design parts that don’t just work once—but work every time.
