“…In general, height in the Z-axis was approximately half of the size of the dimensions in the X and Y-axes. This may be explained by the heterogeneous nature of AM components where resolution, accuracy (Boschetto and Bottini 2016;Lee et al 2014) and mechanical properties differ between the vertical and horizontal axes (Ahn et al 2002;Leigh 2012). This variation is also explained by differences in production time and cost between the horizontal and vertical axes (Costabile et al 2016).…”

“…This may indicate that a major limiting factor for the adoption of AM is that designers do not yet consider these processes truly mature for end use applications. For instance, AM techniques are widely regarded as processes that provide low surface quality and low dimensional accuracy compared to conventional processes (Boschetto and Bottini 2016;Lee et al 2014;Thompson et al 2016). Therefore, components made in AM often require laborious post-processing.…”

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are widely adopted in design practice for prototyping. However, the extent to which practitioners are knowledgeable and experienced in designing components for series production using AM remains poorly understood. This study presents the results of an online survey aimed at uncovering this emerging design activity, with additional evidence provided by semi-structured interviews with 18 designers. One hundred ten practising designers responded. The majority of the respondents remain sceptical about the potential for AM as a process for series production, citing cost and technical capabilities as key barriers. Only 23 reported experience in designing components for series production using AM, with the majority of these designing parts to be produced from plastic. The survey revealed that these designers have developed their own 'design rules' based primarily on personal experience. These rules, however, tended to focus on ensuring 'printability' and did not provide support for taking advantage of the unique capabilities of AM processes. The designers tended to treat AM processes as a uniform set of production processes, and so the design rules they used were generic and not directed to the capabilities of specific AM processes.

Cloud Manufacturing (CM) is the concept of using manufacturing resources in a service-oriented way over the Internet. Recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) are making it possible to utilise resources ad-hoc as replacements for traditional manufacturing resources in case of spontaneous problems in the established manufacturing processes. In order to be of use in these scenarios, the AM resources must adhere to a strict principle of transparency and service composition in adherence to the Cloud Computing (CC) paradigm. With this review, we provide an overview of CM, AM and relevant domains as well as presenting the historical development of scientific research in these fields, from 2002 to 2016. Part of this work is also a meta-review on the domain to further detail its development and structure.

“…Many researchers have undertaken studies on possibility of limiting the effect by software means and increase of product accuracy by appropriate modification of CAD model geometry [3] or optimization of product orientation in the working chamber [15]. However, in case of a complex shape, it is not possible to place a product in a way to minimize the effect on each wall.…”

This paper presents the assessment of the rapid prototyping finishing techniques for printed components. The aim of the study was to compare the element printed with FDM technology before and after the treatment, using 3D scanning techniques. The object was scanned right after manufacturing, then it was subjected to finishing treatment and 3D-scanned again. The assessment of the results was performed using the GOM Inspect software, based on a comparison between scans and nominal model.
