 DfAM is not always separate from broader DFM, as the making of many objects can involve both additive and subtractive steps.Nonetheless, the name "DfAM" has value because it focuses attention on the way that commercializing AM in production roles is not just a matter of figuring out how to switch existing parts from subtractive to additive.Rather, it is about redesigning entire objects (assemblies, subsystems) in view of the newfound availability of advanced AM.
