Design for Additive Manufacturing Fundamentals: Principles, Techniques, and Design Strategies outlines design approaches, techniques, and principles for the optimal additive manufacturing of metals and polymers. Sections cover the concept of design optimization for additive manufacturing (DoAM), outlining the primary steps in the additive manufacturing (AM) workflow and emphasizing the pivotal role DoAM plays in both the design and manufacturing processes. Opportunities and constraints are discussed, as are the different AM techniques available with pros and cons each weighed. Subsequent chapters cover specific design strategies, simulation for AM production processes, generative design approaches for AM structures, and topology optimization techniques.It concludes with chapters focused on strategies and design approaches for lattices and porous structures, design for post-processing in AM, and finally a chapter on the future of DoAM.Equips readers with the knowledge and techniques needed to design additive manufactured products via advanced digital design toolsExplores the technical fundamentals, strategies, inherent limitations, and potential applications of a variety of design strategies for additive manufacturingCovers biomedical, aerospace, automotive, construction, and moreAnalyzes the complete product lifecycle within the additive manufacturing process, from initial design conception to the manufacturing of the final productDemonstrates the use of both qualitative and quantitative simulation tools to design additive manufactured parts
