Abstract

As a new manufacturing method, Additive Manufacturing has begun to get a foothold in the manufacturing industry. The effective exploitation of the technology requires many times a re-design of the product or re-considering the manufacturing technology. Design for additive manufacturing differs considerably from design to other manufacturing methods, therefore design guidelines for additive manufacturing has been developed. The purpose of this paper is to present a new variant of the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) method which supports additive manufacturing.
