Ai-enabledDesign for Additive Manufacturing
An online Short-Term Training Program (STTP) exploring the tools and techniques design for additive manufacturuing.
About DfAM 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an essential tool in optimizing and generating advanced designs that enhance functional integration, part geometry, product structure, and material stiffness. Modern designers and engineers face the challenge of mastering AI-driven methods and algorithms for Design for Additive Manufacturing (AI DfAM).
This session offers a hands-on approach to applying design principles and AI algorithms to either improve existing designs or create entirely new ones at a significantly lower cost than traditional methods. Industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, Healthcare, and Consumer Electronics are rapidly adopting AI-DfAM to unlock unprecedented design freedom. Participants will gain practical insights into early-stage design problem-solving and learn to leverage the full potential of metal and polymer additive manufacturing processes.

Design Freedom

Light-Weighting
Introduce intricate lattice structures with structural optimization to reduce weight and efficiency of mobility solutions.

Heterogeneous Modeling
Design multi-material and gradient structures to take advantage of possible material complexity in AM.

Generative Design
Iterative design process that outputs optimized design that meets real-world manufacturing constraints.

Hierarchical Structures
Design repeating structures in macro, meso, micro, and nano scales to get superior performance.

Topology Optimization
Optimize material layout within a given space, for a given set of loads, boundary conditions and constraints.
All topics include both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical sessions
