A lot is happening in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) these days. The body of DFM knowledge originated in the early 1970s and has been growing steadily ever since. Hitachi, Westinghouse, and Stuart ...

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.

A Sandia National Laboratories team built a telescope to demonstrate how to design for additive manufacturing, familiarly known as 3-D printing, to take advantage of the technique's strengths and ...

Challenges when dealing with high-power-density designs. Utilizing cloud manufacturing platforms (CMPs). Power packaging using additive manufacturing. Today’s designers are now more equipped to ...

Researchers from the University of West Attica have introduced a comprehensive framework that redefines how products are designed for additive manufacturing (3D printing). Published in Advanced ...

Injection molding has long been the workhorse for producing plastic parts. It’s economical for high volumes and offers reliable and repeatable methods for most designs. Additive manufacturing, also ...

With the rapid development of material science and manufacturing science, a large number of complex structures have been designed, manufactured and applied in the industrial field. Most of the current ...

The utilization of the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) has emerged as a highly effective approach for designing lattice structures due to its smooth surfaces, intricately connected lattice ...

According to the consultancy MarketsandMarkets, aerospace firms will be using additive manufacturing (AM) to make more than $3 billion in parts by 2022, up from a bit over $700 million in 2017.
