Understanding how true “DfAM” concept can seize all the advantages of AM requires to understand the scope, ins-and-outs of each design strategy. The key to success is therefore to determine what design strategy best meets one’s product development and how to make the most of it.
Here is the thing, in most product developments that involve AM, two of the most widely used design methods are generative design and topology optimization but the misunderstanding that lies in their differences and unique benefits is probably the one element that prevents them to create substantial value.

Hyperganic and Etteplan will demystify these concepts during the next Additive Talks session.
