Design for Additive Manufacturing with Mapping of Product Functions

To develop genuine AM products, it is necessary to implement AM knowledge in early phases of product development process. Here one of the essential tools is functional decomposition where the overall function of a product is decomposed in all its subfunctions. For such subfunctions, it is easier to find a partial solution for a given problem. Therefore, this research proposes a new method for mapping product functions with design principles for AM, to help designers find different solutions for a function or block of functions when developing an AM product.
