Arguably the most important thing to know about additive manufacturing is that it changes the rules of design. Previously unmanufacturable features become easy to produce with additive technology. Taking full advantage of additive manufacturing therefore involves redesigning components or even redesigning entire assemblies to realize the improved functionality that additive manufacturing permits.
Some of the most elegantly functional designs occur in nature. That is one clear impression that comes across from this Pinterest board devoted to design for additive manufacturing.
