Design for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing enables prototype and mass near-net production of complex-shaped components. In the last 10 years, crucial developments have been accomplished in processing, printers, and post-processing. The new era of additive manufacturing technology moves to redesign of components that makes them feasible and suitable for additive manufacturing. Application of DfAM technology to design customized and complex-shaped single material and multi-material components for additive manufacturing in accordance with industry 5.0. This includes;

• Design of parts

• Optimization of design

• Mechanical and fluid dynamics simulations

• Selection of suitable material and additive manufacturing method

• Preparation of printing files

with collaborative interaction between humans and machines.

The main aims of 3ASN are;

• Creating more complex parts

• Minimal material waste

• Simplified assembly

• From multi-body to unibody assembly

• Material innovation

• Cost-effective mass customization

• Minimum support structures

• Multi-material printing
