As an example, NASA’s rocket fuel injector which required 200 parts were reduced to just two parts using 3D printing.
They required completely re-designing the injector from scratch, using the DFAM strategy.
Here are few important tips to develop a product using DFAM:
Since additive manufacturing is totally different from conventional injection molding and CNC machining, you will have to think fresh about the design and forget everything about DFM or DFA.
Thus, old design concepts developed considering these factors must be eliminated.

To make the most, fabricators need to get their CAD designs additive manufacturing ready. What fabricators want from their design engineers is to have a 3D CAD model for additive manufacturing instead of annotating it with PMI as in subtractive manufacturing.
The global metal powders for additive manufacturing market mainly depicts the presence of a highly fragmented and competitive vendor landscape, says Transparency Market Research on the basis of a newly published report.
With new companies entering this sector on a regular basis, the competition is expected to increase dramatically during the upcoming years.
Most companies are focused on increasing product manufacturing capacities and improving product quality.A lot of focus is being imparted on bringing about extensive innovations in the production techniques used to manufacture metal powders.
Participating in mergers & acquisitions, expansion of product portfolios, and achieving product differentiation also are key schemes implemented by many businesses in the global metal powders for additive manufacturing market.
Hoganas AB, Rio Tinto, Arconic Inc., Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., Renishaw Plc., Carpenter Technology Corporation, Miba AG, Sandvik AB, BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG, Praxair Technology Inc., Metaldyne Performance Group Inc., GKN Plc., Aubert & Duval, and ATI Powder Metals, are key players operating in the global metal powders for additive manufacturing market.Request a Sample - https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S_id=33197According to market experts, this market had gained revenue worth US$310.6 mn in 2016, and is further expected to grow up to US$1,783.9 mn by 2025.
This is mainly due to a great need of the additives made from metals in these industries, owing to their advantageous properties such as corrosion resistance, high error resistance, and notable tensile strength.
With the right resources, even the most complex plastic parts can be designed for the injection molding process.
Our Injection mold part design guides will help you to address a variety of design challenges.
