There’s so much to consider when designing for manufacture. One wrong element could mean disaster and if everything is not taken into account then your project at best can quickly exceed the budget set for it and at worst be a complete disaster!

Bennett Engineering starts all projects with conversations so the setting of the item being manufactured, the challenges with the current situation, the usage of the machinery or equipment and the people using it are all taken into consideration in the project briefing stage.

That means important aspects like assembly requirements, lifting to get into place, route to install, the environment (is it dusty, is it a cleanroom and so forth) and the parts needed for maintenance are all considered before the manufacturing pack is even started.

This gives a full understanding of where your current pain points are and making sure the item designed does not give you more pain to install! The solution will be effective.

Partnering with Bennett Engineering for Design for Manufacture projects doesn’t just mean a great manufacturing drawing. It means that the design will be fit for purpose, you can be assured that we’ll prioritise every element and utilise our effective processes to ensure a high-quality delivery.

Your bill of materials will be easy to understand; things will be standardised to ensure you are not subjected to high costs, materials will be selected that are right for the environment and usage and everything will be detailed accurately whether it’s a BOM with 20 items or 20,000 parts.

With our Design for Manufacture service you can be assured of:

• Accurate and reliable BOMs and design drawings
• Clear and easy to understand CAD models and drawings
• Assembly and manufacturing requirements considered and quoted for
• Optimised materials and standard parts
• Costs not spiralling out of control when you come to manufacture

From creating a bespoke solution or designing a new idea for an OEM the Bennett Engineering way is to always look at ways to improve the quality of the design to make it quicker, cheaper and easier to manufacture or assemble.

You’ll receive accurate and easy to understand manufacturing drawings whether we go on to make the design or you handle it yourself. Your 3D model will be error free due to our quality control process and enable you to control costs more easily during manufacture.

The provision of an accurate bill of materials (BOMs) ensures everything is traceable and no parts are missing when it’s time to order. Whether you need us to manufacture what we’ve designed for you or you are manufacturing yourself; having that BOM is useful further down the line when it comes to having spare parts for maintenance reasons.

Put simply our design for manufacture service will ensure errors are significantly reduced during manufacture. Accurate and easy to understand manufacturing drawings will enable you to control costs which is essential in today’s business environment.
