Augmented Design with Additive Manufacturing Methodology: Tangible Object-Based Method to Enhance Creativity in Design for Additive Manufacturing.

Additive manufacturing (AM) brings new design potential compared with traditional manufacturing. Nevertheless, traditional manufacturing knowledge remains embedded in the minds of designers and is a real cognitive barrier to design in AM. Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) provides tools, techniques, and guidelines to optimize design with the specifics of AM.
