Schematic
A schematic is a diagram that uses symbols to represent the components and connections within a system, such as an electrical circuit or a mechanical assembly.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A schematic diagram is a visual representation employing standardized symbols to depict the elements and their interconnections within a system, such as an electrical circuit, hydraulic network, or mechanical assembly, illustrating functional relationships rather than physical layout.
BACKGROUND
Design for manufacturability (DFM), also known as design for manufacturing, is the engineering practice of designing a product to reduce the cost of its manufacture and to make its manufacture easier, and often the two aspects are intertwined. Common factors that affect manufacturability include the type of raw material, the form of the raw material, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing.
