Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the advantages and pitfalls of adopting additive manufacturing (3D printing) as a tool in the product design and development repertoire. The technology offers considerable advantages and flexibility to the designer but necessitates a fresh look at the design parameters. The technology should not be used to do what can already be done, but with a new tool. Rather it should form the basis of creating a new form which meets functional requirements, which uses the holistic approach we advocate and which cannot be made using classic technologies such as machining or casting.
