Abstract

The use of AM technologies within the space systems of the present but especially of the near future is increasingly pervasive as it is considered a key enabling technology for both commercial and exploration missions, bringing humans on Moon and on Mars. To reach these goals present and future designers must adopt a new Additive-thinking, where Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) must be adopted within a rigorous systemic and systematic approach from the very early design phases. The intended contribution of this research work is to demonstrate that to really maximize the AM benefits for space systems it is necessary to adopt an holistic approach both for the space system and for its development workflow. This permits to leverage the usual AM-improvements twofold, on the equipment itself on one side and for the entire system on the other. By starting from a simple component re-design is possible to obtain only marginal improvements, while re-thinking the traditional design methodology within the innovative DFAM logics with a Systems Engineering (SE) approach is the only way to reach really disruptive advantages, in terms of merging functions and innovative configurations, strongly affecting the traditional spacecraft architectures. To reach the optimal level of integration with concurrent engineering processes the Through-life Integrated Concurrent Engineering approach has been selected for the development of the case-study. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, a multifunctional integrated spacecraft lateral panel has been chosen as a representative benchmark of a spacecraft system. Thanks to this case-study it has been possible to completely address two main goals within the established time frame: to rethink, introduce and validate the design methodology and to realize an innovative system with increased technical and programmatics performances.
