The emerging technology of 3D printing can not only be used for rapid prototyping, but will
also play an important role in space exploration. Additive manufactured parts can be used in …

Additive manufacturing has long enabled complex and less restrictive design capabilities in
the world of modern manufacturing. However, industry applications require extensive …

This article develops and demonstrates a set of design-focused manufacturability constraints
for the fused deposition modeling/fused filament fabrication (FDM/FFF) process. These can …

When a product variant offers functionality that is high in demand, firms may decide to
leverage that design to enhance other variants in their product line. This can be achieved by …

During the architectural design phase, the decisions made have a crucial impact on
developing complex systems. These decisions often limit the performance bounds and steer …

The use of support structures is an essential requirement for powder-bed fusion additive
manufacturing (AM) processes. Supports are responsible for fixing the component on the …

Mass reduction is a primary design goal pursued in satellite structural design, since the
launch cost is proportional to their total mass. The most common mass reduction method …

Purpose This paper aims to explore the design and fabrication of meso-scale Manufacturing
Process-Driven Structured Materials (MPDSMs). These are designed, architected materials …

Abstract Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) concepts have traditionally focused on design
simplification; this is highly effective for relatively simple, mass-produced products, but tends …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has traditionally been used for prototyping of products,
however, in the last few decades, it has seen a rising growth in the manufacture of final …
