  text: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present Design Rules for additive
    manufacturing and a method for their development. Design/methodology/approach
    – First, a process-independent method for the development of Design Rules was
    worked out. Therefore, geometrical standard elements and attributes that characterize
    the elements’ shapes have been defined. Next, the standard elements have been
    manufactured with different attribute values with Laser Sintering, Laser Melting
    and Fused Deposition Modeling, and their geometrical quality was examined. From
    the results, Design Rules for additive manufacturing were derived and summarized
    in a catalogue. Findings – Due to the process independent method, Design Rules
    were developed that apply for the different considered additive manufacturing
    technologies equally. These Design Rules are completely function-independent and
    easily transferable to individual part designs. Research limitations/implications
    – The developed Design Rules can only apply for the considered boundary conditions.
    To extend the Design Rules’ validity, their applicability should be proven for
    other boundary conditions. Practical implications – The developed Design Rules
    practically support the design of technical parts. Additionally they can be used
    for training and teaching in the field of “design for additive manufacturing”.
    Originality/value – The developed Design Rules constitute a first step toward
    general Design Rules for Additive Manufacturing. Thus, they might form a suitable
    basis for further scientific approaches, and the Design Rules can be used to set
    up teaching documentations for lessons and seminars.

  text: Purpose – This paper aims to present a methodology to help end-users to find
    appropriate part candidates for the use of the additive manufacturing (AM) technology.
    These shall be capable of bringing AM into their businesses. The concept furthermore
    includes approaches for redesigning current available parts and helps to estimate
    the economic implications of the use of the technology. Design/methodology/approach
    – The approach starts to discuss general economic aspects for the successful use
    of AM. While describing the introduction of new technologies into existing businesses,
    the importance of an appropriate part selection for AM is pointed out. A methodology
    for a part selection process is presented, and the different criteria are developed.
    An approach for a redesign of the selected parts, including the gathering of requirements,
    is given based on different sample parts. A variation of criteria to include measures
    for product piracy is highlighted. Findings – The methodology has proven applicability
    in several research and industry projects in aerospace applications. Independent
    part selections from experts analyzed within a project of the European Space Agency
    had a 90 per cent overlap with the results. It allows companies with only basic
    AM knowledge to start a part screening for applicable AM candidates in their own
    company with a reasonable effort. Originality/value – The methodology for the
    redesign process helps to identify the main functions of the products targeted
    and the relevant environment, so one can benefit from the various advantages that
    AM has to offer. The selection methodology helps to ask the right questions and
    to reduce the effort.
