From Prototyping to Planet-Friendly Production The Additive Manufacturing Shift

Book Abstract

From Prototyping to Planet-Friendly Production The Additive Manufacturing Shift, is a collection of works from various research groups highlighting the role of design in manufacturing with industrial use cases from different applications. Design for manufacturing (DFM) is a critical step of the product development cycle that needs to be taken into consideration early in the process and aims at optimizing the product design so that the whole process becomes more cost-effective. DFM mainly ensures that the manufacturing process is simplified,manufacturing and assembly costs are reduced along with the amount of waste/scrap material, and product quality is maximized. This book will guide you through innovative and various DFM approaches for different types of applications.
