Abstract

The use of snap-fit features is highly recommended to reduce overall product cost and manufacturing time by reducing the number of parts and eliminating assembly with conventional fasteners. Application to particular product for integral attachment using snap-fit features is needed. Alternative attachment concept for specific application has been introduced. In this study, the optimal attachment design based on the given design objectives is identified using newly developed alternative attachment concept for the specific application to LCD monitor case assembly. Integral attachment using snap-fit features applies the systematic procedure and the intensity analysis.
