In recent years, Additive Manufacturing(AM) has grown exponentially in termsof what can be achieved. No longer just a
method to produce nice-looking prototypes,
now engineers can create any shape thatbest meets their need and can manufacture
pieces almost anywhere they are needed:
under the sea, in deep space, in crisis zones
or on the shop floor. Manufacturing leaders across many industries – Aerospace &Defense (A&D), Transportation & Mobility(T&M), Life Sciences (LS), Industrial Equipment (IE) and Energy & Materials (E&M), toname a few – are adopting AM across theirenterprises and benefiting from the flexibility that this technology brings to their value
chains. In this context, many jobs using AM
processes have been emerging over the last
few years, and it all starts with design. This
ebook will therefore focus on the Additive

Manufacturing Designer role, and highlight how that job has evolved, the skills it
requires, and how the job will be evolving
in the years to come.

Introduction

Before we deep dive into the Additive Manufacturing Designerrole, we will provide some context about key values of AM.
AM is a fabrication process used to print 3D objects bycontinuously adding materials layer by layer. Although AM
technologies are nearly 40 years old, the Additive
Manufacturing Designer job has been rapidly emerging over thelast 5 years. This job comprises the knowledge of thatdiscipline, understanding of materials, AM processes, as well
as design methods that are really key elements to being a
successful Additive Manufacturing Designer.

1. Market Size
According to an article from Reports and Data,overall revenue generated by the AM Industry
reached a total of US$10 billion in 2019, forthe first time since its introduction 40 years
ago. That number is expected to grow andreach US$32 billion by 2023, and reach morethan US$50 billion in 2026 according to Fortune Business Insights. This data includes theoverall revenue from AM, from equipment tomaterials used in AM, plus its services, as well
as all types of materials (metals, plastics, composites and ceramics).
In terms of adoption rate of AM, North America is leading the market. Europe is not too
far behind in the competition, while the Asia
Pacific region is expected to show the highest growth. Indeed, International Data Cor-

poration (IDC) estimates that China will be
the fastest growing country in the AM market over the next five years, with an annual
growth rate of 21.6%.
In 2020, the top three countries in terms ofgenerated revenue from AM are Germany,
United States and China. France ranks fourthwith more than EUR 490 million of revenues
generated, according to an article from Primantes 3D website, dated January 2020.
This would therefore lead to many new jobs
opportunities in all the above regions andcountries. According to a report from Wanted
Analytics, a loss of jobs related in the manufacturing sector has been observed in the
United States. Despite this loss, 2 million of
manufacturing jobs could remain vacant by
2025.

Most of the job postings were located in the
US. Germany also had a very high demand.
In France, a report from JobLift (Career platform) highlights that those positions take a
bit longer to recruit compared to other profiles.
This demonstrates the challenges in recruiting such professionals. A report from
Katalyse (Business strategic consulting
company) estimates that by 2025, new job
creations for AM could reach almost fourtimes the number it was in 2018 (a total of
380 versus 100). In addition, the same report says that the number of postings linked
to AM had grown 100% in 2017, reached6,000 positions in 2018, and overall increased by 12% weekly. AM is growing 25
times faster than the overall job market.
Many recent reports highlight that this in-dustry is having some difficulties in recruiting because the market has been growing
more quickly than the number of graduate
profiles. Most notably, this trend is expected to continue in the coming years withhigher salary levels.

will be expected to understand material
properties and their specific applications. Finally,
Stress engineers are going to need to know how
AM can be analyzed for part integration”.
“AM can handle a variety of applications, fromparts to molds. But the lack of AM knowledge
creates the assumption that AM can replace
traditional machining completely, which is nottrue!”, Jeswin concluded.

Assistant Professor in charge of Materials and Additive Manufacturing (MADMAN) curricula at ENSAM(Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers)
Imade Koutiri who was interviewed during the
COVID-19 lockdown shared with us a few key highlights of the AM market and gave some details about
curricula dedicated to materials and Additive Manufacturing (MADCAM) that ENSAM introduced in2015. This program is a 150-hour curriculum, and is open to their students
and professional engineers. According to Mr. Koutiri, one of
the benefits of AM is the creation of “more complex but
lighter designs that are too
difficult or too expensive tobuild using traditional processes”. He declared that students attending this program“develop many skills attending instructors-led classrooms, in which we

give them some knowledge about the processes
and materials. Our students are very interested inthis new technology because it is fun and it allows
developing their creativity”.Their students practice,
test their products and use the materials in lab sessions. He added they could also practice “numerical exercises using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
applications by Dassault Systèmes. We have theconviction that AM brings a new philosophy toindustries and can change the working methods”. He concluded that “they are sure that in
the next years, the request for the number ofengineers in this discipline will increase.”

Introduction

Recruiting experts in AM is difficult but this lackis compensated by young profiles that are very
attracted by this exciting technology.
DfAM is definitively the Top1 skill to be
successful on AM, but soft skills
are also key to understandand anticipate other actors’
challenges.
We are training ourcustomers and internals
on AM in an innovatedmanner: We are introducing
serious games that are very
adapted to the AM discipline!

Mr. Frédéric Parisot, working at AddUp, leader in AM solutions, shared with us his expertise as a training engineer in
AM. According to him, the AM discipline is not yet muchcovered at universities or in engineering schools. Consequently, the AM skill remains rare on the market, and soft
skills are key to be able to adapt to this new and complex
technology.
Mr. Parisot said that a designer should rethink the way hedesigns objects, integrate new free shapes and constraints
that are all interconnected, within multidisciplinary teams.
Indeed, all actors involved in an AM project must collaborate altogether from the start so each team integrates its
own constraints. This is where the AM processes really differ from the traditional techniques.
In terms of trainings, Mr. Parisot said AddUp proposes a
serious games offer to their customers and employees as
traditional trainings are not adapted to AM technology,
though it is important to innovate and propose new training formats that are more fun.

A designer is required to design, innovate andbring new ideas to the reality.
We are entering in an era where the new parts
are developed with AM in the mindset. Thus thejob has evolved and it’s more fun!

Rhushik is head of AM division at Yamaichi Special Steel, aJapanese company that specializes in Steel manufacturing
and post processing. He gives “freedom to his designers
to create the most eccentric designs which still follow the
manufacturing rules”.
In terms of recruitment, he declared “it is difficult to recruit
experienced profiles, but his company focuses on trying
to recruit fresh graduates not yet limited by conventional
manufacturing”.
According to Rhushik, different skillsets are required, suchas a strong “Mechanical and Mathematical knowledge isrequired in AM to push the design limits”. He added that“Engineers and designers are also required to know the basic of operation of 3D printing, thus they know better thelimits of the technologies”. The AM designer job did evolve,
but now enters a new era: until now, it aimed at “adapting
the conventionally designed parts to make them manufacturable”.

Introduction

Do not wait, and go ahead, the journey is very
promising!
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform not only
brings together all the needed
pieces of software, but it also
makes real-time collaboration
possible.

According to Daniel, a good AM engineer needs multiple
skills: CAD modeling, some FEA know-how (topology optimization is based on FEA) and a good understanding of theadvantages but also the constraints of the technology. A
plus could be some knowledge on metallurgy (metal AM is
like welding: you start from solid stated (powder), it melts(liquid state) and it solidifies.
He also added that the 3DEXPERIENCE platform influences
the evolution of the job! “It does not only bring together all
the needed pieces of software but it also makes real-time
collaboration possible, reducing the risk of errors, reducing
the lead time and allowing to harvest collective intelligence:
the AM operator can, for example, give some feedbacks to
the designer to optimize even further the design.”
Daniel finally gave some inputs to the companies about the
deployment of the technology: first step would be “to print
parts designed traditionally, then to print topology-optimized parts and the ultimate goal to create completely new
designs that take all the benefits of the technology”.
