Overview

With the rapid advancement of AM technologies, identifying parts which are eligible for AM as well as gaining insight on what value it may add to a product needs to be modelled in an objective and transferrable way. This tool aims at determining the candidacy of a part or assembly for AM based on its economic feasibility and potential for AM-specific benefits (such as lightweight, freeform shapes, and customization). This tool is also featured by its employment of machine learning algorithms with carefully sampled historical data.

Some basic functionality included:
