Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM or DFAM) is design for manufacturability as applied to additive manufacturing (AM). It is a general type of design methods or tools whereby functional performance and/or other key product life-cycle considerations such as manufacturability, reliability, and cost can be optimized subjected to the capabilities of additive manufacturing technologies.
3D printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
Fused filament fabrication ( FFF ), also known as fused deposition modeling (with the trademarked acronym FDM ), or filament freeform fabrication, is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. [1] Filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer extruder head, and is deposited on the ...
Selective laser melting ( SLM) is one of many proprietary names [1] for a metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses a bed of powder with a source of heat to create metal parts. Also known as direct metal laser sintering ( DMLS ), the ASTM standard term is powder bed fusion ( PBF ). PBF is a rapid prototyping, 3D printing, or ...
Material extrusion -based additive manufacturing ( EAM) represents one of the seven categories of 3d printing processes, defined by the ISO international standard 17296-2. While it is mostly used for plastics, under the name of FDM or FFF, it can also be used for metals and ceramics. In this AM process category, the feedstock materials are ...
Ian Gibson (born April 7, 1963) is a Professor of Design Engineering at the University of Twente. Gibson was selected as the scientific director of Fraunhofer Project Center at the University of Twente [1] [2] and is a recipient of lifetime achievement award, the Freeform and Additive Manufacturing Award. [3] [4] His main areas of research are ...
Multi-material 3D printing is the additive manufacturing procedure of using multiple materials at the same time to fabricate an object. Similar to single material additive manufacturing it can be realised through methods such as FFF, SLA and Inkjet (material jetting) 3D printing. By expanding the design space to different materials, it ...
Laser metal deposition. Laser metal deposition ( LMD) is an additive manufacturing process in which a feedstock material (typically a powder) is melted with a laser and then deposited onto a substrate. [1] A variety of pure metals and alloys can be used as the feedstock, as well as composite materials such as metal matrix composites.
