In this sense, the design principles have changed since forms that were illogical to manufacture before can now be produced and can even improve the part efficiency.
The designer has to create parts depending on the application and function of the part but also on the manufacturing process.
Additive Manufacturing has a lot of benefits and simplifies the manufacturing process.
However, there are some limitations that need to be considered in the designing process such as overhangs, wall thickness or warping.
Additive Manufacturing has changed the form of design completely. This new technology gives the possibility to create complex geometry parts which cannot be obtained by normal machining with conventional manufacturing processes.
