![]() ![]() In Section 2, State of the art and classification, a review of existing DfAM classifications and processes is done, where both a new classification and a new design process are presented. Section 1, Method, describes the method of the performed review. ![]() ![]() Aeronautics and metal AM have been the motivators for this study, but the proposed process is generic and is also applicable in other areas. A discussion of how knowledge based engineering (KBE) could be used to achieve a higher degree of design automation and which tools need to be developed wraps up the review. Many different reviews in the area have been performed during recent years ( Gao et al., 2015 Yang and Zhao, 2015 Kumke et al., 2016 Laverne et al., 2014 Rosen, 2014 Thompson et al., 2016), and this article contributes a novel design process for AM viewed through the eyes of a design engineer, a proposal for a DfAM process covering each step in the design process including coupling to existing design methods and tools for each step. The aim of this paper is to review the DfAM research area in terms of methods, design guidelines, and available software. Today’s design workflows and software tools do not harmonize very well in a DfAM process, and new ones need to be developed as stated by Simpson ( Simpson, 2017). Compared to most other manufacturing technologies, AM has relatively few manufacturing constraints, which allows for a more optimization driven design process and could result in more valuable components. DfAM is the category specialized in components manufactured with AM. Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) is a term that has its origin in the term design for manufacturing (DfM), which means designing a part or a product for easy manufacturing ( Boothroyd, 1994). Common to most of the techniques is the layer-by-layer approach, which is used during manufacturing. Many circumstances, such as usable material, material properties and design constraints, differ depending on the chosen AM technique.
