In recent years, computer-based graphic knowledge has evolved and become the most
common trend. The computer-aided design would be used by the designers to generate …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is becoming data-intensive while increasingly generating
newly available data. The availability of AM data provides Design for AM (DfAM) with a …

The laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) process is able to produce complex part
geometries. The fast development of the LPBF process offers new opportunities for the …

Theoretical and practical interests in additive manufacturing (3D printing) are growing
rapidly. Engineers and engineering companies now use 3D printing to make prototypes of …

Design for manufacturing (DFM) approaches aim to integrate manufacturability aspects
during the design stage. Most of DFM approaches usually consider only one manufacturing …

Nowadays, due to rapid prototy** processes improvements, a functional part can be built
directly through additive manufacturing. It is now accepted that these new processes can …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) increases much design freedom for designers to conceive
complex parts. However, the increased complexity makes the manufacturability analysis …

Hybrid manufacturing (HM) technologies combine additive and subtractive manufacturing
(AM/SM) capabilities, leveraging AM's strengths in fabricating complex geometries and SM's …

This paper examines the problem of assessing product ease of disassembly for recycling in
light of the broader issue of manufacturability evaluation. The disassembly time estimation …

This study presents the development of a novel MATLAB-based virtual prototy** tool
called Will It Print that evaluates part geometry to check for compliance with design-for …
