Design for Additive Manufacturing

Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) involves creating parts with manufacturing methods like 3D printing in mind, optimizing designs for efficiency, strength, and functionality. Instead of traditional manufacturing limitations, DfAM enables complex geometries, lighter structures, and integrated features that would be difficult or impossible with conventional techniques. It emphasizes designing parts to leverage the advantages of additive processes, such as material reduction, multi-material capabilities, and rapid iteration, ultimately improving performance, reducing costs, and enabling more innovative solutions.
