Why Do We Care About Design for Additive Manufacturing?

In this video from LiveWorx 2019, John E. Barnes shows that design for additive manufacturing is good for business. His team analyzed the costs of a hypothetical part that would be produced via powder bed fusion. They found that 86% of the cost of the part was driven by design, while only 14% of the cost was determined by the materials used to print it. Some additive manufacturing materials sound expensive on the front end, but Barnes argues that the major economic efficiencies in additive manuf
