Design for Additive Manufacturing - DfAM<\/h3><\/div>
3D printing or additive manufacturing\u2014whatever you call it\u2014we’re here to help!<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]Exploring 3D printing is exciting. There are hundreds of different options. But which one is best for my specific situation? <\/p>\n

In most cases, a conventionally designed part is used to request a quote, and after reviewing the quote, the first reality check sets in. Why is it so expensive? What limitations do I face compared to traditional manufacturing technologies? And does it really justify the effort? This is where Design for Additive Manufacturing\u2014or DfAM for short\u2014can be the solution![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1575453801960{padding-top: 85px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.04) !important;*background-color: rgb(0,0,0) !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1648660591157{margin-top: -20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]

Data suitable for 3D printing<\/h3><\/div>
Thinking ahead in production<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]DfAM\u20143D printing pays off because it is set to transform all traditional business models. But it is crucial to process meaningful data on the 3D printer. Simply 3D-printing a part that was originally created using conventional methods and using a material that most closely resembles the conventional one often yields no benefit. <\/p>\n

Redesigning a part for a specific 3D printing application can quickly yield benefits. And that makes all the difference. By adhering to AM-based design guidelines on the one hand and\u2014on the other hand\u2014generating specific benefits through 3D printing, new doors are opened to expand your manufacturing possibilities; for example, through…[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”4335″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”4313″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”4336″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1575390546273{padding-top: 55px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”phone-reverse-col”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1575390506246{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

...Advantages of 3D-print-ready design through DfAM<\/h3><\/div><\/div>
    \n
  • the integration of additional functions into the design\/construction of the part, the integration of which previously required additional steps to enable the same application<\/li>\n
  • the integration of components into one part to reduce assembly time and the costly management of different data in the BOM \/ ERP<\/li>\n
  • the reduction of warehousing and storage costs through 3D printing to order<\/li>\n
  • the reduction of tool and set-up costs<\/li>\n
  • the customization of your product or the offer of greater flexibility \/ variety of variants for the respective requirements<\/li>\n
  • creating a competitive advantage and improving products and efficiency\u2014not only in terms of weight reduction, but also in terms of temperature, flow characteristics, space savings, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Cost savings in assembly and administrative expenses through component and functional integration, and reduced inventory costs through a digital on-demand inventory system, are just a few of the benefits of AM.<\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1653312496194{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 0% !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”4314″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1575390546273{padding-top: 55px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”phone-reverse-col”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1653312460777{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”4315″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”4868″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1575390506246{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

    Benefits of shared parts analysis<\/h3><\/div>
    It doesn’t take much to start a redesign project:<\/div><\/div>
      \n
    • Together we analyze your parts using data analysis (ERP, PDM) and joint workshops on site and identify the parts with potential for additive manufacturing \/ 3D printing<\/li>\n
    • Together, we will define the KPIs and goals for the redesign. This includes all requirements, such as costs, quality, tolerances, and characteristics. <\/li>\n
    • Which suppliers should we consider? Or does it already make sense to set up our own production? <\/li>\n
    • Through simulation and optimization, we arrive at the best of all possible designs.<\/li>\n
    • Through digital iterations and physical prototypes, we minimize risks prior to the final production of the customer\u2019s part in the specified material and the post-processing stage. This depends heavily on the intended production volume and the selected material. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      In the end, you will not only receive a new end-user part with a competitive advantage over conventionally manufactured parts, but you will also have gained valuable experience in the field of 3D printing.<\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1648660509956{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 85px !important;background-color: #0085c8 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″]
