The Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFM/A) studio was created in July 1989 to provide a focal point for the creative concept development, process plan evaluation, assembly plan evaluation and DFA analysis in the DFM/A course.  The DFM/A studio provides a unique toy shop display arena for the good and bad product concepts that are currently in the market or were previously in the market.   Many previously designed, horrible products, find a home here after students perform manufacturability analysis on them.
