Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) is a concept that focuses on simplifying and optimizing the design of a product to make it easier and more efficient to manufacture and assemble. One way to achieve this is by using a "snap-in" design rather than screws, which can reduce the number of parts and the time required for assembly. DFMA also considers other factors such as cost, quality, and reliability throughout the design process.
