Design for Manufacturing
From the Start
Design for Manufacturing
Optimise your product design for cost-effective, reliable production before tools are cut and boards are ordered.
Our Approach
#At Kabani Tech, DFM is not a checklist — it is a systematic analysis of every design decision that affects manufacturing yield, assembly efficiency, and production cost. We apply DFM principles to both PCB and mechanical designs, identifying issues early when they are cheap to fix.
Our DFM reviews are run before tooling is committed, before boards are ordered, and before assembly lines are configured — eliminating the expensive rework cycles that occur when manufacturing feedback arrives too late.
Services We Offer

Our step-by-step custom process
First, we audit your brand and goals. You get full transparency, fast turnarounds, and results that speak for themselves.
Design File Review
PCB gerbers, mechanical CAD, BOM, and assembly drawings reviewed against DFM criteria.
Issue Identification
All DFM issues logged, categorised by severity, and estimated for rework cost if unaddressed.
Design Correction
Design files updated to resolve DFM issues, with changes reviewed against original requirements.
Manufacturing Package Release
Final DFM-verified manufacturing package released to fabrication and assembly vendors.
Industries We Serve
We design and engineer digital solutions for high-impact industries.
Frequently Asked
Short on time?
Let's get started with a brief intro call.
When in the project should DFM be done?
As early as possible — ideally before PCB layout is completed and before any mechanical tooling is committed. The later DFM runs, the more expensive the fixes.
Do you coordinate DFM review with the manufacturer?
Yes. We can run DFM in conjunction with your selected CM or conduct the review independently using standard manufacturing rules.
What does a DFM report include?
A prioritised issue log with severity ratings, annotated design files, recommended fixes, and estimated cost impact of each issue if left unresolved.
Can DFM be applied to an existing product?
Yes. We frequently run DFM on mature products to identify cost-reduction and yield-improvement opportunities without a full redesign.
