Content and functions of an internetbased platform for supporting development of additively manufactured parts

Abstract

To enable efficient and effective development of additively manufactured parts, the development process can be supported by a tailored information platform. In this paper, an Internet-based information platform for this purpose is presented. A survey in an industrial environment with 35 participants was conducted to determine the beneficial functions and information on the platform. This paper presents the results of the survey and the realization of an information platform as a digital support tool for designing additively manufactured parts.
