CAxManaims to establish analysis-based design approaches that will reduce material usage by at least 12%, and increase weight savings by introducing internal cavities and voids, whilst maintaining component properties. The enhanced analysis-based process planning of CAxManincludes thermal and stress aspects of additive manufacturing, and their interoperability with the design phase. CAxManalso addresses the compatibility of additive and subtractive processes in production in order to combine the flexibility of shape in Additive Manufacturing with the surface finish of subtractive processes.
