DFMA Paradigms As Applied To The Swingline 747 Stapler

This document presents the application of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) paradigms to the Swingline 747 stapler. It discusses stapler specifications, material selection using intuitive and analytical methods, manufacturing processes for key parts like the upper arm and staple slide, and assembly analysis. Overall, the document demonstrates how DFMA principles were used to select materials, design parts for efficient manufacturing, and optimize the assembly process of the stapler.

selection

The material is selected among the few


materials
the design engineer is familiar with.

A property has given rise to problems. A new


material
is chosen in the same group of material with a
higher
value of the property.
The designer takes more or less randomly into
account one requirement at the time.

Drawbacks with Intuitive


Methods

Important requirements have often given


rise to failures in operation.

First solution at hand is taken which is not


very likely to be good solution.

The solution is typically far from the


optimum giving the part poor
competitiveness.
