Designing better with additive manufacturing

But the value of AM is not unlocked by printing alone. True performance at the micro- and nanoscale requires thoughtful design, clear engineering intent, and a process that can accommodate complexity without sacrificing manufacturability. In this context, Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) must evolve into something more than a mechanical exercise in material removal or stress distribution, as described in this Mikroniek article.
