Can Neway Help Reduce Cost During the Design Phase?
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Cost Optimization
Yes—Neway plays a critical role in reducing overall manufacturing costs through proactive involvement during the design phase. Our engineering team provides comprehensive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) support, helping clients streamline part geometry, material selection, and tolerance specifications. Early engagement allows us to identify unnecessary complexities, minimize machining time, and reduce material waste—ultimately lowering total production cost without compromising performance.
Key Cost-Saving Design Strategies Offered by Neway
Simplified Geometries: Reducing undercuts, thin walls, and deep pockets allows faster tool paths and fewer machining setups, decreasing labor and machine hours.
Material Selection Guidance: We recommend materials like Aluminum 6061 or ABS plastic when performance allows, to lower costs without sacrificing functionality.
Tolerance Optimization: By advising which features require tight tolerances and which do not, we help avoid over-specification that can significantly drive up costs.
Integrated Surface Finish Planning: Aligning finish requirements (e.g., anodizing, powder coating) with function and visibility can eliminate post-processing steps or reduce rework.
End-to-End Support for Efficient Production
Our one-stop service integrates CNC prototyping, low-volume manufacturing, and mass production into a single solution. By collaborating during the initial design phase, Neway helps clients validate critical features early, prevent design-to-production mismatches, and maintain project timelines while minimizing unit costs.
