After concept design comes design for manufacturing. In this phase, designers have to consider value engineering, maintain design intent, and source materials, manufacturers, and more. A truly great designer prioritizes strong collaboration with engineers and anticipatory problem solving that results in the manufacturing of high quality products with minimal loss rates and cycle times.
