DFM Tips

  1. 1Design with generous draft angles (5–7°) on all die-contact surfaces for clean part release.
  2. 2Avoid sudden section changes—use gradual transitions to prevent cold shuts and folding defects.
  3. 3Specify flash land and gutter dimensions to ensure complete die fill without excessive flash.
  4. 4Plan post-forge machining allowances of 1–3mm on critical dimensions for finishing to tolerance.
