Abstract
Design for assembly is a design trend in industry for developing produ cts with few parts so that they can be manufactured easily on an autom ated assembly line. This concept is embodied in the IBM proprinter. Th is table top printer is a wire matrix type for the company's personal computer line. The printer does not have the usual array of screws, pu lleys, belts and brackets. The parts simply snap together. This paper attempts to make recommendations for further improvements in the area of producibility of the printer.
