Manufacturability Analysis for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing evolved in the last years from being a rapid prototyping process to a standard manufacturing process. Nevertheless, it is still not a widely used manufacturing method due to different process-related challenges. In this context, it is of vital importance to inspect the manufacturability of the designed parts. In this paper, we present a knowledge-driven framework able to automatically examine geometric properties of a part and compare it to additive manufacturing guidelines. The knowledge base supports a user with information about the capabilities of additive manufacturing processes, printers, and materials.
