  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.
