This concept is fascinating as we use a coarse additive manufacturing process and the accuracy is ensured by a milling application. This hybrid manufacturing process is ideal for us. The five-axis application allows us to process the work pieces all round. In general we start with a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) model.
3.1 Introduction. Every product development process involving an Additive Manufacturing machine requires the operator to go through a set sequence of tasks.

Mon Jul 06, 2020. Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, is a computer-controlled process for creating 3D objects. As the name implies, objects are built up by ''adding'' material — usually a plastic, ceramic, or metal powder — to a build platform in thin layers, which are hardened using a curing agent, heat, or a laser
A design framework called the Process Chain Map (PCM) is introduced in this paper that explicitly relates design requirements for the part to each step in the AM process chain.
The design freedom provided by additive manufacturing (AM) or ''3D printing'' technology is an important enabler in cutting-edge product innovation. As part of the revolution in digital manufacturing, AM can radically simplify the production of complex parts, while simultaneously improving functional performance, reducing part weight and minimising
The process chain map (PCM) is intended to be a visual representation of the relationships between steps in the process chain and how those steps contribute to satisfying design requirements.
