What is DFAM?

DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) means designing specifically for 3D printing.
It’s not just about modeling, it’s about optimizing shape, structure, and performance to make sure your product prints efficiently and functions reliably.

At Real Volume, we tailor every design to the strengths of additive manufacturing.  That means fewer supports, better part strength, and production-ready files.

Skills:

  • Optimized designs for modern manufacturing

  • DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing)

  • Jigs & multi-part assemblies

  • Freeform to complex feature design

  • End-to-end workflow: concept art, 3D modeling, file prep

  • High-quality meshes (up to 50M polygons)

  • Industry standard NURBs (CAD) files for high production injection molding

Specific areas of expertise

  • Resource optimization: Time and resource optimization through slicing analysis

  • Creation of manufacturing files: Helping you understand the best file types for specific projects

  • Product adaptation: From prototype to DFAM
