ATM Designs what others cannot conceive – then we take it one step further. When awarded a program ATM performs a Design for Manufacturing “DFM” followed by a through Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) for the program’s success which includes:
- Work to identify any program failures
- Part review for draft and part ejection
- Review for cycle time improvements
- Mold flow
- Conformal cooling
