Design to Manufacturing (D2M) is a comprehensive process that transforms a conceptual idea into a tangible product. It begins with the creation and refinement of design concepts, followed by the development of detailed technical specifications. The process includes prototyping to test and validate the design, refining it based on feedback, and then planning and executing the manufacturing steps. D2M ensures that a product is not only innovative and functional but also feasible and efficient to produce. By integrating design and manufacturing considerations from the outset, D2M streamlines production, reduces costs, and enhances product quality.
