Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) maximizes product design to help manufacturing and assembly, thereby lowering costs and raising quality. Its productivity is improved by incorporating artificial intelligence with digital tools (3D CAD, additive manufacturing, digital twins). By means of eco-design, DFMA also helps to optimize resources and reduce garbage. Still, there are difficulties including acceptance by SMEs, tolerance management, and sophisticated technology costs. Digital system interoperability, smart automation, and material innovation will define DFMA going forward. This literature review presents the current state of DFMA, its application with technologies, its challenges and future prospects, and the influence of the evolution of materials innovation on future DFMA applications.
Key words: DFMA / Additive Manufacturing / Digital Tools
