Developments in Additive Manufacturing

In the ever-evolving field of FA, it is not uncommon for designers to feel at a loss. The emergence of FA has indeed disrupted a design process that had previously been based on traditional methods. It is therefore clear how important it is to promote the potential of AM to designers so that they can take full advantage of it during the design process and, more broadly, to drive product innovation. This involves providing them with tools and methods tailored to the specific characteristics of AM that enable them to adapt their current design practices. This approach falls within the field of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), which is now well-established in the scientific literature and is gradually being integrated into industrial environments....
