Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is a strategic engineering approach that designs structures to simplify both manufacturing and assembly processes. By optimizing designs for production efficiency and ease of assembly, DfMA aims to reduce costs, shorten construction timelines, and enhance overall quality.
Relevance in Timber Engineering:
In timber engineering, DfMA is pivotal for maximizing the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of timber projects. It enables the creation of timber components that are easy to manufacture and assemble, leading to faster project delivery, reduced material waste, and greater precision in construction. This approach positions timber as a highly competitive building material in the modern construction landscape.
Ergodomus and DfMA:
At Ergodomus, we have been utilizing the DfMA approach since the beginning of our journey, accumulating over 17 years of expertise in Mass Timber and DfMA(d). Our commitment to DfMA is showcased annually during our DfMAy Event held every May, where we share insights and advancements in the field.. This consistent promotion highlights our dedication to fostering collaboration and innovation in timber engineering. By leveraging structural analysis, connection design, and BIM integration, we deliver cost-effective, high-quality timber structures that meet our clients’ strategic goals from the outset.
DfMA is a cornerstone of Ergodomus’ success, enabling us to deliver efficient, high-quality timber engineering solutions that drive our clients’ projects forward.
