Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) comprises a set of guidelines and best practices essential for designers and engineers to achieve optimal outcomes in printed part designs. Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing (3DP), encompasses various technologies such as stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), among others. DFAM encompasses considerations related to the chosen printing technology, part geometry, materials selection, and any necessary.
