Abstract
Most of the present researches in production management under the influence of three-dimensional (3D) printing technique are qualitative. The manufacturability optimization of production combining 3D printing and traditional manufacture is discussed from a point of quantitative view in this paper. A mathematical model of manufacturability optimization considering lot-size is proposed and a differential evolution (DE) algorithm is introduced to optimize the model. Numerical tests on the model and the algorithm reveal the quantitative changes with bringing in 3D printing. The model can be applied to optimize the manufacturability considering lot-size that combines 3D printing and traditional manufacture. The research is expected to offer a reference to promote the practical application in the way of 3D printing industrialization.
