Do a literature review on the existing design process for the manufacture of parts using additive technology.

To develop case studies with EBM technology that allow us to propose a model of the design process of parts and / or mechanisms. From this process, propose the rules and principles of design of parts and / or mechanisms for additive manufacturing process.

Requestionner the "customer needs" under this new technology.
Define design rules for additive manufacturing.
Formalize a design method suitable for this technology.
