Abstract:
Faced with increasing demands from the market
and regulatory agencies, manufacturers must establish
a robust product-development process that incorporates
sound engineering. A systematic approach, one
that is logical and scientific, leads to cost
reduction, reduced time to market, prevention
of premature failures, and minimal rework loops.
This presentation focuses on traditional vs. systematic
approaches to product design and development,
concurrent engineering practices, and 12 critical
steps to follow to minimize cost overruns and
project delays. The discussion centers on basic
part design, material selection, structural analysis,
mold-flow analysis, importance of rapid prototyping,
design reviews, single-cavity prototyping, tolerance
analysis, establishing tooling protocols, navigating
through the mold-construction phase, mold sampling
and pilot runs, DOE/CPK studies, establishing
process parameters, and final part evaluation
and acceptance.
