Design for Additive Manufacturing - Report of literature review

This report reviews the state-of-the-art research on design for additive manufacturing, especially the recent advances from 2010-2016.

Design for Additive Manufacturing - Report of Survey with Designers

A comprehensive report from a survey of 110 designers of their experience, knowledge and information requirements regarding designing components for series production using additive manufacturing. Designers are aware of the potential of AM, but few have experience beyond prototyping. Information on designing components to be made using AM processes is mainly generated from experience. Perceived cost and component performance (material properties) remain barriers to adopting these processes more widely for series production.

Overview of 1st year D4AM project progress

Overview The current project “Design for Additive Manufacturing” (hereafter referred to as D4AM) funded under the ‘Design the ‎Future’ phase 1 call in 2014 has established a strong basis for continuation including increasing scope and depth. The ‎constraints of the phase 1 call necessitated a focus...
