Integrated Product Design uses several methodologies, Design for Manufacturing is one of them. DFM pretends to facilitate manufacturing of parts by means of analysis of geometries, values and tolerances, and is used in first design stages in order to decrease the product cost. The design for manufacturing was studied as well as design rules to propose a methodology for Design for Investment Casting.

Una de las metodologías utilizadas por la ingeniería concurrente o diseño integrado de productos es el diseño para manufactura, DFM. Esta técnica, que está orientada a mejorar la fabricación de piezas analizando geometrías, valores y tolerancias, es utilizada en las primeras etapas de diseño para disminuir los costos de los elementos a fabricar. Se estudió el diseño para manufactura estableciendo reglas de diseño a fin de elaborar una metodología para diseño en microfundición.
