A computer-aided decision-making tool for Powder Bed Fusion AdditiveManufacturing (PBF-AM) process selection using Multi-Criteria DecisionAnalysis (MCDA)

Precision ADM is a global engineering and manufacturing solutions provider who uses Additive Manufacturing as a core technology, complemented by multi-axis machining to manufacture high value components and devices for the medical, aerospace, energy, and industrial sectors. Precision ADM specializes in PBF based additive manufacturing. For that reason, Precision ADM wants to design and develop a cost-effective and customized computer-aided decision-making tool for the AM process selection, particularly for powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBF-AM) processes. The tool would consider the manufacturability of parts by additive manufacturing, and the selection of an optimal method based on capabilities of PBF-AM processes.
