Abstract

A method, medium, and system to automatically determine parameter sets for an additive manufacturing (AM) of a part, the method including executing a load analysis on a model of a part to emulate a load on each of a plurality of regions of the part; determining a representation of the model of the part as a plurality of discrete three-dimensional (3D) volume elements; determining, based on an output of the load analysis, a life or material property value to assign to each of the plurality of 3D volume elements; automatically determining an assignment of one of a plurality of additive manufacturing (AM) print parameter sets to each of the plurality of 3D volume elements; and saving a record of the determined assignments of the AM print parameter sets to each of the plurality of 3D volume elements.
