Design for Additive Manufacturing (CAD) 3D Printing
Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) is the methodology of creating, optimizing, or adapting the form and function of a part, assembly, or product to take full advantage of the benefits of additive manufacturing processes.
DfAM is a complex topic and a hot research area. While the basic concepts are easy to understand, their implementation can be challenging to master. The state-of-the-art and best practices are constantly evolving as the capabilities of additive technologies (and engineering design software) continue to advance.
Increased complexity does not equal increased cost. This benefit gives a considerable advantage over traditional manufacturing technologies for design optimization.
The total cost of production does not change significantly for larger volumes. This trait means that producing slight variations of similar designs costs approximately the same as making many identical parts, creating opportunities for mass customization and tooling.
Additive manufacturing is a digital manufacturing process. The implication is that additive manufacturing technology pairs perfectly with advanced engineering design tools for optimization and automation.
