Design for Manufacturing Forum | Design-driven Manufacturing Transformation | Connecting product developers, industrial designers, engineers and manufacturers for a more decentralized, leaner manufacturing ecosystem

80 percent of manufacturing costs are determined in the first 20 percent of the product development process. Design has the key to take cost and waste out of manufacturing

Digital design and fabrication tools are catalysts to realize this potential and tranform the manufacturing industry, creating new opportunities for upcoming generations of entrepreneurs

Design for Manufacturing Forum brings together product developers, industrial designers, engineers, makers and manufacturers for a more decentralized, leaner manufacturing industry
