Additive Manufacturing Trends to Get the Most of Your New Product
Generative Design, Topology Optimization Oh my!
Additive Manufacturing changes everything. With 3D printing, the impossible is now possible. The problem is how to best leverage your designs to get the most of your new product.
• Effective use of generative design methods requires companies to open up their design thinking
• Companies need to have a clear understanding of system performance and requirements to improve optimization
• It becomes necessary to consider a multi-disciplinary approach that considers design, materials, manufacturing process, to maximize value

What Is Additive Manufacturing?
Additive Manufacturing is the industrial production term for 3D printing. This refers to the computer-controlled process in which you create three-dimensional objects, complied by layers.
Using a CAD system, such as NX CAD, additive manufacturing allows for the creation of objects with precise geometric shapes built layer-by-layer- unlike traditional manufacturing which typically requires machining or other techniques to remove surplus materials.
Why Is Additive Manufacturing Growing In Popularity?
Additive Manufacturing allows your company to transition from simple prototyping to designing and printing useful parts at scale. By moving beyond simple prototyping, your team can develop a true, industrials production process.
With Additive Manufacturing, you can not only prototype, but also manufacture ground-breaking products, reimagine your designs, reinvent your manufacturing, and even rethink your business models. Traditional machine tools have geometric limits on the components they can produce. However, you can leave these limitations behind by adopting additive manufacturing.
The revolution in industrial production is now underway thanks to advances in additive manufacturing. Due to the overall digital transformation of the production process through design/engineering software and simulation tools for printing, companies can now adopt a data-driven production process.
“All of these elements have to interlock smoothly,” says Ingomar Kelbassa, who heads Siemens’ Company Core Technology Additive Manufacturing. “Ultimately it’s not so much the individual technology that makes the success of 3D printing possible – it’s the whole package.”
