The
TecONE seminar named “Common Mistakes that Derail your Design for
Manufacturing” was held on 28th March 2018 in Science Park. The seminar aimed to share the limitations
and challenges for a design & manufacturing firm and tips to improve the
efficiency of production process; as well as, providing opportunities to share ideas,
exchange business leads and to meet your potential business partners. Before the talk, I took a photo with speaker
and participants.

Mr.
Jimmy Chung (GM, Skytech Creations Ltd.) was our guest speaker and his topic
was “Design for Manufacturability (DFM)”.
Firstly Jimmy introduced his company which was a Design House and established
in 2003. And he setup R&D center in
HKSTP in 2017.
Then he explained DFM which aimed to facilitate the manufacturing process, designing products and allow potential problems to be fixed during design phase so as to reduce manufacturing cost and easy to manufacture.
He
shared that the most important thing was to understand the user and their
expectation. He would asked three
questions and they were “Who are you looking for?” “Easy to produces?” and “Easy
to machine?”. Understanding the user would
affect the design direction. Moreover,
he added to understand the user through deep research involving gender, age
group, disability, when to use the product and how to use it, etc.
Then
he discussed factors affected the manufacturability such as “Simple is the Best”
that design projects in a friendly and simple sharp, using common parts and
reducing the assemble parts, easily machined material, as well as, simplify the
tooling.
After
that we discussed the material choose and he reminded us that some famous brand
name material was not easy to buy and they were restricted to specific customer
only. Lastly, he demonstrated two cases
to explain common mistakes.
During
the discussion session, each participated incubatees shared their business and networking
at the end.
