Conception pour la fabrication (DFM)
DFM (Design for Manufacturability)
FRRevue technique des dessins avant production pour ajuster matériaux, tolérances, rayons de pliage et finitions afin de réduire les coûts et les rebuts. Un DFM en amont raccourcit les délais et limite les allers-retours durant la production.
ENEngineering review of drawings before production to adjust materials, tolerances, bend radii and finishes in order to cut cost and scrap. Early DFM shortens lead times and limits back-and-forth during production.

- AlambicDistillation apparatus made up of a heated pot, a swan neck and a condenser. Copper pot stills and column stills each shape the aromatic profile of the distillate.
- Assemblage mécaniqueStage where fabricated parts are built into sub-assemblies or finished products: fastening, riveting, insert installation, component integration and functional checks. Outsourcing assembly reduces on-site installation labor.
- Brassage (mashing)Preparation step in which milled grain is mixed with hot water to convert starch into fermentable sugars.
- CNCMachining technology where the machine (mill, lathe) is driven by a computer program. Simultaneous 5-axis is the standard for complex aerospace and medical parts.
- Colonne de rectificationTray or packed column that multiplies evaporation-condensation cycles to obtain a high-purity alcohol, typically for vodka.
- Découpe laserNon-contact thermal cutting process where a focused laser beam melts and vaporizes metal along a digital path. It delivers clean edges, fine detail and fast changeovers, suiting both prototyping and repeat production.
