Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)

Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) refers to the strategic approach of designing products specifically for additive manufacturing processes, such as 3D printing. This methodology emphasizes optimizing geometries, materials, and production techniques to leverage the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing, resulting in enhanced performance, reduced material waste, and shorter lead times. By integrating DfAM principles early in the product development cycle, organizations can foster innovation and achieve greater efficiency in both design and production.
