Frame the problem correctly
A DFM review should expose geometry that affects tooling, filling, cooling, ejection and inspection before steel is committed.
The goal is not to simplify every part; it is to identify features whose manufacturing consequences are easy to miss in CAD.
A useful DFM review records decisions, not just observations. If a wall is thick because it carries a thread insert, note that functional reason before proposing a core. If an undercut is required by an assembly latch, compare tool actions against alternative latch geometry. Each accepted change should be tied to the drawing revision so the toolmaker, buyer and designer are reviewing the same geometry.
Geometry, material and duty
Review wall transitions, draft, undercuts, ribs/bosses, gate options, parting lines, inserts, cosmetic zones and critical dimensions.

Where the risk appears
A generic checklist becomes ineffective when it does not distinguish functional constraints from negotiable geometry.
First-sample evidence
Record each DFM decision against the controlled drawing revision and carry accepted changes into the sample plan.
For Injection Molding DFM Checklist, close the DFM loop by updating the controlled CAD/drawing and sample plan. A recommendation that never reaches the released revision cannot be inspected consistently in production.
Production-release notes
Before requesting a price for injection molding dfm checklist, identify the current drawing revision, production quantity, material constraint and the feature that most strongly affects function. Ask the supplier to flag any deviation from those inputs in the quotation so technical alternatives stay visible.
