Handling of uncertainties in the design of sustainable Additive Manufacturing products by merging Design-for-X and Scenario-Technique
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: New technologies and materials carry significant potential for sustainable production and use of products. As an example, Additive Manufacturing technologies and materials promise lightweight design and energy efficient use of parts. Exhausting the full potential requires: a) consideration of uncertainties with respect to future capabilities, and b) upgradeable design guidelines to cover advancements consistently. The proposed approach merges concepts of Design-for-X with foresight algorithms of Scenario-Technique to derive actionable knowledge. It is validated by an application in the field of Additive Manufacturing, namely Metal Fused Deposition Modelling. Engineers benefit from the intuitive access to heterogeneous types of sustainability related information.
