| Summary: | Design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) provides design freedom for creating
complex geometries and guides designers to consider manufacturing constraints during product
design. However, DFAM is still developing to formalize and structure design guidelines for additive
manufacturing. Therefore, this paper presents a DFAM knowledge base that contains a wide range
of information including design features, manufacturing features, and parameters. The knowledge
base is formalized by web ontology language (OWL) and is called as DFAM ontology in this study.
The manufacturing feature concept is defined to link part design to AM process parameters. Since
manufacturing features contain information on AM constraints, the DFAM ontology contributes to
analyzing manufacturability of design features according to AM processes. |
