Design for additive manufacturing based on the axiomatic design method

Additive manufacturing technology promises to revolutionise the way products are manufactured and supplied to the customer. Existing design methods, however, do not take full advantage of the additive manufacturing process capabilities. This paper presents a framework to improve the current design approach for additive manufacturing using the axiomatic design approach. The proposed framework is used both for the development of new products and the re-designing of existing products that are designed for conventional manufacturing. A case study is presented for the validation of the framework that highlights how this method can be used for design validation and decision making.
