A Study on the Change of Manufacturing Design Process due to the Development of A.I Design and 3D Printing

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution brought about changes in various fields. The speed of the fourth industrial revolution will proceed faster than the previous ones. It is a new revolution in which new technologies are integrated. So the convergence of new technologies in the fourth industrial revolution will affect many areas. In particular, new technologies such as artificial intelligence and 3D printing technology are being used in the manufacturing industry. The fourth industrial revolution will change the manufacturing design process in the future. Predicted changes are as follows: First, existing management processes are divided into planning, design and manufacturing processes. The collection and analysis of many data are important in the planning process. This planning phase enabled data collection, processing and management through cloud computing and big data technologies. Based on these plans, artificial intelligence can produce thousands of design results. Next, based on the design plan, products can be produced in 3D printing. As such, the manufacturing process has been very simplified by 3D printing. The study can offer some solutions for social changing problems by predicting the future of manufacturing. And the results of the study can be used as a research base in the manufacturing design sector using artificial intelligence and 3D printing.
