Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, NYC 2024
Presentation Abstract
DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) has often focused on product characteristics (performance and aesthetics) and printing optimization (support and nesting strategies).
However, this drastically overlooks all the steps between the 3D printing process and final use of the product.
Nearly all additive my manufactured parts/products undergo a series of steps once printed: post-processing, assembly, finishing, and QC. DfAM philosophies can leverage additive as a technology and design efficiencies at each step of this process to improve lead times and streamline workflows.
