目的-本文旨在提供一个全面的审查国家的最先进的增材制造（AM）技术的设计方法，以提高功能performance.Design/方法/途径-在这项调查中，设计方法为AM，以提高功能性能分为两个主要群体。它们是针对特定目标的设计方法和一般设计方法。第一组的设计方法主要集中在功能性能的改善，而第二组还考虑到其他重要因素，如可制造性和成本，具有更一般的框架。每一组的设计方法进行了仔细的审查，讨论和comparation.Findings -AM不同的设计方法的优点和缺点进行了讨论。现有的设计方法存在的主要问题是：大多数设计方法只针对单一功能的单一设计尺度，很少有产品级设计方法能够兼顾产品的功能性和装配性;现有的一些设计方法由于缺乏合适的计算机辅助设计软件而难以实现。这项研究是一个有用的来源，设计师选择一个适当的设计方法，以充分利用AM。独创性/价值-在这项调查中，一种新的分类方法被用来分类现有的设计方法AM。基于这种分类方法，本文提供了一个全面的评论，作为一个信息源，设计和研究人员在这一领域的工作。
Purpose - This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art design methods for additive manufacturing (AM) technologies to improve functional performance.Design/methodology/approach - In this survey, design methods for AM to improve functional performance are divided into two main groups. They are design methods for a specific objective and general design methods. Design methods in the first group primarily focus on the improvement of functional performance, while the second group also takes other important factors such as manufacturability and cost into consideration with a more general framework. Design methods in each groups are carefully reviewed with discussion and comparison.Findings - The advantages and disadvantages of different design methods for AM are discussed in this paper. Some general issues of existing methods are summarized below: most existing design methods only focus on a single design scale with a single function; few product-level design methods are available for both products' functionality and assembly; and some existing design methods are hard to implement for the lack of suitable computer-aided design software.Practical implications - This study is a useful source for designers to select an appropriate design method to take full advantage of AM.Originality/value - In this survey, a novel classification method is used to categorize existing design methods for AM. Based on this classification method, a comprehensive review is provided in this paper as an informative source for designers and researchers working in this field.
