Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the experience, the current knowledge regarding the design of end-user components for series production in additive manufacturing (AM) and the information needs of designers involved in designing end-user components for AM. To achieve this, the survey intended to uncover the following aspects of the topic:
- If and how frequently AM technologies are used by designers for series production of end-user components
- To what extend designers have had experience of designing end-user components for AM
- Which aspects are important when designing end-user components for additive
- Why designers have or not have designed end-user components for series production in AM
- How designers have learned how to design for AM and which resources they have used
- What designers would like to know about Design for AM
- How they prefer this information to be conveyed
