Design for additive manufacturing

  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000096",
  "term": "Design for additive manufacturing",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A design methodology that adapts part geometries to the specific capabilities and constraints of an additive manufacturing process. It involves creating features that would be difficult or impossible to produce with traditional methods, such as internal lattice structures, consolidated assemblies, and topology-driven shapes. This approach contrasts with conventional design for manufacturability (DFM), which focuses on subtractive or formative techniques like milling and molding.",
