Exploration of the Influence of Additive Manufacturing Design Potentials on Vehicle Conception

By Daniel Fuchs

In this Open Access book Daniel Fuchs analyzes the potential impact of additive manufacturing-related design freedom on vehicle conception. In this context, the term Additive Manufacturing (AM) incorporates the technology field often referred to as 3D-Printing. The motivation for this work is derived from alternative design solutions presented in state-of-the-art AM use cases, in which additional design freedom is leveraged to achieve significant product- and process-related improvements. This book systematically explores the impact of AM-related design freedom on vehicle conception, leveraging novel design potentials from the part to the complete vehicle level.
