What is DFM? Learn how Design for Manufacturing improves quality, reduces costs and prevents common design errors.
What is DFM?
DFM (Design for Manufacturing) is a systematic approach to optimize PCB design for simple, reliable and cost-effective manufacturing.
DFM ensures the PCB design is developed with manufacturing requirements in mind. Analysis covers pad geometries, component spacing, orientation, panelization and fiducial marks.
Practical Application
SMTEC performs DFM analysis during order clarification and provides concrete optimization recommendations. This prevents costly design changes during series production.
