Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have seen fast growth in the last few decades. AM needs the implementation of new methods in design, fabrication, and delivery to end-users. Hence, AM techniques have given great flexibility to designers as the design of complex components and highly customized products are no longer binding from a manufacturability point of view. In addition to high material variety, this allows multi-material and variable mechanical characteristics of product manufacturing. This review paper addresses the design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) rules, guidelines, and tools to guide the designer to take advantage of the opportunities provided by AM whether in the early design stages (EDS) or in the later phase using computer-aided design (CAD) tools. It discusses issues related to the design for AM and proposes a DfAM framework applied in the design for the additive manufacturing process.
