Our tips for successful mechanical design
The mechanical design of your connected object is crucial. Discover our three essential tips for technically, planning and financially secure production.
Tip n°01
Draw up specifications with a qualification plan
Mechanical design starts with a solid qualification plan. Neglecting this step means incomplete input data, risking your product’s realization during prototyping, certification and even market launch. Avoid costly delays by planning from the outset.
Tip #02
Adopt Design for Manufacturing right from the start
Don’t opt for DFP (Design for Prototyping) when you’re aiming for mass production. A mechanical design that is excellent for prototyping may be inadequate for large-scale manufacturing. Work closely with your mechanical engineering department to ensure that the design meets your production objectives.
Tip n°03
Develop an eco-design and circular economy strategy from the outset
Imagine your product is on the market – congratulations! Now you’re thinking about setting up a circular economy to recover and repair end-of-life products. However, if disassembly proves complex and costly, you could end up with unforeseen additional costs. Don’t opt for DFP (Design for Prototyping) when you’re aiming for mass production, but rather for DFM (Design For Manufacturing).
Anticipate these challenges from the outset through eco-design, and you’ll save time and money.
