S-FMECA Based Collaborative Design Proposal for Additive Manufacturing Methodology
Abstract
In the current context, the sustainable development, eco-design and eco-manufacturing concepts are being developed in research laboratories, and further being integrated gradually into manufacturing industries. Hence, the needed information for eco-design is scattered throughout the product life cycle and is not centralized; especially when designing for Additive Manufacturing. This paper aims to develop a collaborative eco-design methodology by using eco-design tools in different design stages and, finally, to contribute to tackling this issue. Either in the early design stage or in the detailed on, the designer will be supported to make sustainable, conscious decisions. The proposed methodology based on the sustainable-failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis (S-FMECA) eco-designing tool allows the communication with computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), life cycle assessment (LCA), topology optimization (TO) and product life cycle management (PLM) software in order to assist the designer to make green-conscious decisions.
