Impact on Vehicle Development Methods and Tools
摘要
This chapter elaborates on the impact of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) application approaches on vehicle development methods and tools. First, in Sec. 6.1, the aspect of product-benefit oriented application of AM design potentials is summarized as a methodological approach to product design centered on conflicting objectives. Second, the restrictive aspect of engineering tools is summarized in Sec. 6.2 indicating necessary advancements in CAD/CAE to enable design engineers to leverage AM design potentials fully. Third, a multiphysics optimization (MPO) design approach is suggested as a general design strategy as opposed to the conventional hands-on CAD design process in Sec. 6.3.
