Activity-based Cost Model for Material Extrusion Processes Along the Additive Manufacturing Process Chain

A proposal for guiding the selection of suitable DfAM support based on experiential knowledge

“…• Assess the cost-effectiveness of a component in relation to the manufacturing process (Kampker et al, 2019;Kazmer et al, 2023) • Identify the potential of AM (Blosch-Paidosh and Shea, 2021;Brennan et al, 2021; Lachmayer and Lippert, 2020) • Identifying & specifying problems related to AM (Renjith et al, 2020;Toguem et al, 2020) • Provide inspiration through existing components (Bender and Gericke, 2021) • Create system architecture/product architecture to identify potentials and contradictions (Ganter et al, 2021;Valjak and Bojčetić, 2023) • Adopting functions and shapes from nature (Lachmayer and Lippert, 2020) • Create ideas and solve problems with the Contradiction Matrix (Gross et al, 2018;Mazlan et al, 2022) • Optimising design for AM-processes (e.g. fused filament fabrication (Djokikj and Kandikjan, 2022), laser powder bed fusion (Herzog et al, 2022), laser metal deposition (Ewald and Schlattmann, 2018)) • Numerical generation of multiple solutions for defined constraints (Ntintakis et al, 2022) • Facilitate the selection of suitable software for the application (Nieto and Sánchez, 2021) • Support selection of print material (Lachmayer and Lippert, 2020) • Support selection of printing process (Lachmayer and Lippert, 2020) • Provide checklists adapted to the design phases (Kumke, 2018).…”

Activity-Based Cost Estimation Model for The Extrusion of Variant Aluminum Profiles

“…After investigating the literature referred to in this paper, other recently published scientific papers that examined the application of ABC to material extrusion processes in general and aluminum extrusion specifically were searched. The authors found that there are scientific papers close to the field of this research, such as [21][22][23], at the same time the authors were unable to find published papers that deal with the current research scope. Consequently, this paper has contributed to a unique and qualitative scientific contribution, which is the application of ABC as a modern accounting method to a specific manufacturing process, which is the aluminum extrusion process, which enhances the novelty of this research, considering the continuous search of production managers and industrial cost analysts, to find the most accurate, and objective accounting methods, as is the case in the ABC method.…”
