Take DfMA with you
Designers, Makers, Builders can utilize the economics of information goods and online networks to form advantageous business models that combine, ideas, online computing, and DfMA (Design for Manufacturing & Assembly) with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud.
Human + Computing + Process
A superior process coupled with a modest investment in computing resources can enable everyone involved in the delivery of the built environment to outperform relative to results derived from inferior processes supported by the technology we have already encountered.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is an exceptional process that has been united with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by people wanting to compete with computers rather than against them to realize scope & quality that is greater than the resources expended. Together, DfMA and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud enables everyone to create novel business models that produce far more than they consume by optioning the economics of information goods and online networks.
Design
Connecting, capturing, and reusing design intelligence with material and assembly intelligence......
Manufacturing
Design for manufacturing implies designing for the ease of manufacture of a product's components parts.
Assembly
Design for assembly aim to reduce your product assembly cost and minimizing the number of assembly operations
DfMA Benefits
DfMA is about taking a holistic view of a building to determine the best way of making it. Its goal is the efficient production of a high-quality, cost-effective facility that, despite the mass production of certain processes, still provides the variety the client desires.
More predictable installation
A DfMA approach looks to eliminate components, because more parts means greater potential for assembly problems. It also requires tolerances among various trades to be agreed upon in the early design stage. Therefore, when components arrive at the job site, they all interface correctly.
Higher quality components
Because much of the project assembly is done in a clean factory environment, the end product can be of higher quality than what is produced onsite. Also, there is opportunity for better quality materials which, as a piece part might be more expensive, but costs are saved overall through less construction time and reduced lifetime maintenance.
Improved worksite safety
This prefabrication focus means that fewer trades are required onsite, the site aspects are better illustrated and the workspace is more predictable, which leads to improvements in both safety and logistics.
