This study introduces a knowledge-based design algorithm to reduce support structures in additive manufacturing (AM). The method optimizes printability and quality, significantly cutting material use and build time.

Area of Science:

  • Manufacturing Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Computer-Aided Design

Background:

  • Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers design freedom but faces constraints like support structure requirements.
  • Support structures increase material consumption, cost, and build time, hindering functional part fabrication.
  • Controlling support generation is crucial for efficient AM processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a knowledge-based design algorithm for reducing support structures in AM.
  • To ensure printability and maintain as-printed quality while minimizing support material.
  • To optimize AM process parameters and local geometric features.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an Additive Manufacturing (AM) ontology to characterize AM processes.
Keywords:
