Wearable Technology: Design for Manufacturing Tips
5 Considerations to Improve the Manufacturability of Your Die-Cut Components
Manufacturers, no matter the industry, constantly think about simplifying production, while keeping costs down and quality high. Original equipment manufacturers in the wearable technology market are no different. The complexity of today’s stick-to-skin medical devices and wearable adhesive patches makes optimizing design and production critical. This applies just as much to the custom die-cut components as it does to the full device assembly.
Working with a specialized converter early in the design phase of a product can limit production delays at project launch and ensure that your precision die-cut components can be manufactured at scale.
Why? Nothing is more frustrating than designing a product, validating it using prototype volume production, and then learning that your product cannot be manufactured “at scale.”
That's where design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA) for die cut products comes in!

By engaging your converter early and employing DFMA principles, you can detect and solve inefficiencies before production, reducing expensive errors that could require retooling or a total redesign.
This e-book highlights five key factors you’ll want to review in detail with your converter early in the design phase. These factors will inform our process development recommendations, help us advise you in the material selection process, and give us insight into any potential speedbumps that could negatively impact your launch timeline, if not addressed. |

In this E-book, you’ll learn:
- How DFMA can improve your production throughput, saving you time and money.
- What questions to ask, and when
- How working with a specialized converter early in the engineering process is the key to avoiding costly speedbumps and redesigns later down the road
Working with a specialized converter like JBC technologies grants you a bird's eye view of the production process. By clarifying what capabilities are available through JBC Technologies at the start of the design process, we better understand what will make your product more manufacturable and cost-effective.
