摘要:Additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used in different fields. At first, it was specific to prototyping and proof of concepts. Nowadays, it is used in many areas. AM allows the fabrication of non-removable assemblies in one go, with two or more different materials. The complexity of the parts is not limited with the tool access or other blocking issues of traditional processes. The only limitation is the imagination of the designer. This brings up a change of paradigm when thinking the design of new parts, or the re-engineering of existing assemblies. To benefit from these advantages, a new design approach must be developed; it should take into account the specificities of the process, and help the designer find optimum solutions. The design methodologies have been developed for a long time, they are mostly thought for a specific life cycle or a specific manufacturing process. Because of the differences of AM technologies, the design thinking of these processes is important in the laboratories using AM. The aim of this paper is to present the traditional methodologies, outline the need for a specific one, and present a new methodology concerning the DFAM (design for additive manufacturing), including the factors influencing the design, and the added value compared to the cited methodologies.
