Man. Processes
This subtractive process removes material using a rotating cutting tool.
What is milling
This tolerance controls the allowable variation of a feature's center relative to a datum
What is position
This design principle reduces the number of separate parts to simplify assembly.
What is part count reduction
This factor refers to how easily a part can be produced using a given process.
What is manufacturability
What is the type of built-in fastener that snaps into place when connected to a part
What is Snap-fit
This process uses molten metal that is poured into a mold.
What is metal casting
What symbol represents a feature that the rest of the features are referenced from.
What is Datum Feature
This manufacturing concept encourages using standard components instead of custom ones.
What is Standardization or using commercial off the shell parts
This consideration is focused on reducing cost between parts in a design.
Part-to-cost ratio
What is the distance between two adjacent teeth on a gear called, measured along the pitch circle
What is pitch diameter
This process uses a high-energy beam to cut sheet material with high precision
What is laser cutting
This symbol ensures that two surfaces remain parallel to a specified tolerance.
What is parallelism
This term describes designing parts so they can only be assembled in the correct orientation.
What is poka-yoke (mistake-proofing)
This term describes how well a material can withstand repeated loading without failure.
What is fatigue strength
What type of cam follows a contour cut on the surface and can either oscillate or reciprocate.
What is cylindrical or drum cam
This process deforms metal by forcing it through a die to create long, uniform shapes
What is injection molding
What is the GD&T symbol used to describe the conditions and tolerances of a geometric control on a part’s feature
What is Feature Control Frame
What is the most important principle for Design for Assembly
What is minimize part count
This consideration focuses on minimizing waste and energy use
What is sustainability
What type of gear has teeth cut at an angle to the axis of rotation and can operate orthogonally
This method builds parts in layers from a digital model.
What is additive manufacturing or 3D printing
What feature describes the amount of material existing within a dimensional tolerance
What is Maximum Material Condition (MMC)
Designing with easy alignment and reducing the time and effort required for assembly are key for which principles in DFA.
This concept evaluates the total length a product stays in use before it is unable to be used.
What is lifespan
Which type of joint has 2 degrees of freedom, both along the same axis
What is a cylindrical joint
