Abstract Scope |
Since Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes can fabricate complex part shapes and material compositions, it released significant amount of freedom for designers to design innovative products. In general, parts that are good candidates for AM tend to have complex geometries, low production volumes, special combinations of properties or characteristics. Most of existing design methods and approaches are well established for conventional manufacturing processes which tend to limit the complexity and potential multi-functionalities of products considerably. Given the unique characteristics of AM, Prof. Zhao and her team have conducted pioneering research in Design for AM (DFAM) field. In this talk, Prof. Zhao will report her recent work on developing novel design strategies and geometric modeling techniques to support multi-functional design concept generation and multi-scale highly complex CAD model realization with manufacturability analysis applied at early design stage. |
