As you will know, a machining piece is not designed in the same way as a 3D printed piece: each manufacturing process is associated with a design technique. In additive manufacturing<\/a>, there are very specific design rules and tools that will allow you to create an optimized design, ready for 3D printing. These methods are generally grouped under the term <\/span>Design for Additive Manufacturing<\/i><\/b> (DfAM) – developed to optimize the functional performance of the part as much as possible, but also its cost, reliability, and other product life-cycle considerations. Several techniques are used today, such as generative design, topology optimization or the creation of lattice structures. How to choose the right design method to optimize the entire design process of a 3D printed part? We asked three additive manufacturing experts for their opinion on the matter!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to answer the issues related to DfAM, we asked some questions to Ravi Kunju, SVP, Strategy and Business Development at Altair; Daniel Pyzak, Director, EMEA CATIA Competency Center at Dassault Syst\u00e8mes<\/a>; and last but not least Peter Rogers, APAC Product Specialist for Additive Manufacturing at Autodesk.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
