Towards Sustainable Design for Manufacturing and Assembly: An Integrated Approach

Abstract

n foundries and construction sites, for example, angle grinders are used for deburring and other high-performance grinding applications.
So, this research looks at the angle grinder's sustainable design using DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) analysis. A
excellent product with a low number of parts and minimal complexity is the result of using the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
(DFMA) approach, which reduces development time and costs. By "sustainability design," we mean a method of creating things that is
good for the environment and people equally. This study's sustainability design incorporates DFMA analysis of the manufacturing and
assembly phases. Design solutions involve reducing the number of parts and the amount of time it takes to assemble them, independent of
manufacturing method choice, materials cost, or other factors. Analyses on angle grinders are carried out using the 3D scanning technique
in Catia software for the purpose of designing certain parts, and sustainability analyses are carried out using Solidworks software. These
methods are integrated with the Boothroyd and Geoffrey DFMA approach. With 15.34 KgCO2, 2.10×10-2 KgPO4, 15.5 KgSO2, and
1.95 MJ produced in the production of one angle grinder, the present product efficiency is at 21.3%. It is anticipated that all research
criteria will be reduced by 25% via this investigation.
