The phrase refers to designs or models that are most suitable for creation using additive manufacturing technologies. This suitability is determined by factors such as printability, functionality, aesthetics, and the efficiency of material use. An example is a custom phone case designed with interlocking parts, requiring minimal support structures during the printing process while ensuring structural integrity after assembly.
The selection of optimized models is important for maximizing the potential of additive manufacturing. Benefits include reduced material waste, decreased printing time, and improved final product quality. Historically, the challenge was to adapt existing manufacturing designs for 3D printing. Current advancements focus on creating objects specifically intended for this process, leading to complex geometries and designs not previously possible.
