In the hectic fields of engineering and manufacturing, smart design and overkill are barely separated.  Sometimes that threshold is surpassed in the form of over-engineering, a costly and time-consuming mistake that gives a part or product unneeded complexity.  Though it may result from excellent intentions, such as increasing dependability or foreseeing edge cases, over-engineering generally does more harm than benefit. This blog will go over what over-engineering is, why it occurs, how to identify it, and tested methods to prevent it so your next product design is manufacturing-ready, affordable, and efficient. What is Over-Engineering? Over-engineering arises, usually leading in [...]
