How to Design for Additive Manufacturing (5-minute overview)

Additive manufacturing, often associated with 3D printing, introduces a very different method of creating parts. Learn about designing for additive manufacturing, its pros and cons, and how you can take advantage of the process to improve your design and manufacturing workflow.
The unique advantages of additive manufacturing open up a wide range of design opportunities. For example, one advantage of additive manufacturing is that a geometrically complex part is just as easy to set up as a simple one. On the other hand, parts created through additive manufacturing methods are anisotropic, which means that they should be designed with functional requirements in mind.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Really insightful

[@DynmcStudio]

Interesting take. Do you think that 3d printing will be a supporting technology for a long time? Or do you think that soon, it'll be the manufacturing technology that everyone just need?

This video is awesome! Did you decide to test just the corners of the structure at the end because joints tend to be the weakest points of parts or is there some other reason? Is that why you said they are the critical structures of the part? Why not test the sides as well?

What is the % of porosity of the pieces after sintering?

[@markforged]

Our 17-4 PH Stainless Steel has 96% density.

Is it possible to further increase the porosity up to e.g. 10% ? Thx un avance.

그냥 오닉스를 싸게 만들어서 팔면 안 됩니까,,,
