Additive manufacturing broadens the ability of a designer to optimize the design of a product or part to save materials for example. Designs tailored for additive manufacturing are sometimes very different from designs tailored for machining or forming manufacturing operations.
In addition, due to some size constraints of additive manufacturing machines, sometimes the related bigger designs are split into smaller sections with self assembly features or fasteners loc
