Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) DVD Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) is a proven design methodology used to optimize part costs and quality, while reducing time-to-market development. Part of the award-winning Manufacturing Insights Video Series, this program features an interview with Nicholas Dewhurst of Boothroyd Dewhurst. He explains the concepts and use of DFMA in product analysis to understand the drivers of cost, and the interaction of the individual pieces within the product to optimize design, manufacturability, and assembly.
Fastening and Assembly DVD This Fastening and Assembly program focuses on the primary fasteners and assembly processes used and includes sections on mechanical fastening, adhesive bonding, and automated assembly.
Filament Winding DVD This Filament Winding program examines both the wet winding and dry winding processes.
Grinding DVD This program focuses on grinding and how it is used to shape and finish high precision workpieces made from metals and nonmetals. It features segments on precision grinding methods, abrasives and grinding wheels, balancing, and dressing grinding wheels, grinding safety, and workpiece surface finish.
Hydroforming DVD This Hydroforming program examines the basic materials, tools, and techniques of tubular hydroforming and sheet metal hydroforming.
Roll Forming DVD Roll forming is a high-volume production process used to produce an unlimited variety of formable cross-sections. Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program provides detailed information on roll forming dimensional tolerances, material straightness, camber, curve, bow and twist, roll form tooling, and roll forming machines.
Setup Reduction DVD This program follows a three-day journey where you'll see how to champion a setup reduction event, measure your current methods, identify time elements behind setup, and learn what it takes to change and improve new methods.
