FORM DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, PhD theis
In this doctoral dissertation, tool
that will help industrial designers in the process of design for AM is
developed. The tool is a collection of rules which should point industrial
designers towards for “appropriate” design for AM. In addition, benchmark model
is designed, which is intended to guide the user in the process of fabrication
but also help in the evaluation and optimization of the machine. In order for
them to be more specific, the rules and the benchmark model are developed for
one particular process and that is fused deposition material (FDM).
