Abstract

Tools for analysing additive manufacturability often employ complex models that lack transparency; this impedes user understanding and has detrimental effects on the implementation of results. An expert system tool that transparently learns features for successful printing has been created. The tool uses accessible data from STL models and printer configurations to create explainable parameters and identify risks. Testing has shown good agreement to print behaviour and easy adaptability. The tool reduces the learning curves designers face in understanding design for additive manufacturing.
