A new software is being born to simplify the design of components for 3D printing

Listing Description

Result description

To simplify the computational modellling and simulatation of the component’s future properties, a new design tool for additive manufacturing (DfAM) is being created at INEGI. Through a bank of pre-designed and easily adaptable projects, the solution will help the user to design in 3D, as well as support material selection, cost estimation, post-processing methods and life cycle analysis.

To answer this problem, the Institute’s team has devised a solution that will significantly simplify the design phase, and reduce the cycle time required to obtain a component.

This work is taking place within the scope of the project «ParAM – Parametric AM Design Tool – Accelerating the Twin Transition by removing design barriers», funded by the EIT Manufacturing of the EIT (European Institute for Innovation and Technology).

Addressing target audiences and expressing needs

Our needs are
  • Collaboration
We specifically need / are looking for

The activity contributes to overcome the existing industrial barriers, improving its manufacturing flexibility and overall efficiency. The warehouse costs and supply time can be reduced, thus fostering the implementation of zero-waste sensing in the materials and energy consumption and circular economy for green manufacturing.

Target audiences
  • Research and Technology Organisations
  • Academia/ Universities

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects

Current stage description

The ParAM project provided a design tool that simplifies the designing of parts to be processed by additive manufacturing (AM) by making a parametric CAD models database available. The Design-for-AM models can easily and quickly obtained by any workers without any specific knowledge or experience.

Value Proposition:

According to Luís Oliveira, responsible for the project at INEGI, the idea responds to a common problem in the industry: “most users, namely component manufacturers, have manufacturing capacity, but do not have the necessary internal skills to design and optimize the components”.”It is a common problem in many industries, particularly those dealing with the supply of small series, unit manufacturing or prototypes, but also customized replacement parts,” he adds.
