Rule-based DFM analysis for direct metal laser sintering

Rule-based Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis, especially in the context of Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), involves a set of guidelines or rules that help engineers and designers assess the manufacturability of parts intended for production using this additive manufacturing technique. DMLS is a form of 3D printing that uses a laser to fuse metal powder into solid parts, which poses unique design challenges and opportunities.
