The document discusses the AMable project, which aims to provide services and a marketplace to support SMEs in adopting additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. It describes the development of AM technologies over time, functional products that benefit from AM, and challenges in the AM field. It also outlines the AMable services arena, which will offer SMEs services related to AM technology, design, production, and business functions to facilitate their use of AM. The digital infrastructure will allow trusted and documented exchange of AM-related data between service providers and users.

The AMable Services Arena – Example Design for AM
ID 306
Service name
Design for AM
Service description
This service will provide the knowledge to enable the creation of an AM-buildable product, while integrating incoming design data (customer
scan or other input data) and creating the required instructions (file for build, post-processing, inspection instructions) to ensure the final
product matches the design requirement. The design process may include a part consolidation exercise, structural optimisation, design
concepts, customisation, reverse engineering or simply the redesign of a component for build-ability through AM processes.
Service offering
This service offers to provide working knowledge of how to design products for manufacture by AM in different applications (e.g. topology
optimisation, tooling improvement, Part consolidation to improve lead times and Customer-led product design). Customers will be able to
access design tools (hardware and software) and resources through this service, and the service will help them through their first AM
design process. This will empower SMEs to do functional design, part consolidation and design based on customer input either through scan
data or requirements capture.
Service key benefits
 Cost effective designs
 De-risking the build
 Accessing design guidelines/tools/resources
