Additive manufacturing offers many advantages, especially in terms of creativity and design freedom. However, this emerging technology is disrupting the way design is carried out and creativity is often limited by the cognitive barriers installed through years of traditional manufacturing processes. Likewise, as this manufacturing process is relatively recent and quite unknown to designers, its specificities are not always considered during the design phase, which leads to manufactured parts happening to differ from CAD models in terms of sizing or surface quality. Consequently, microwave components nowadays manufactured layer-by-layer do not exhibit operational electromagnetic performances. In this way, it is necessary to guide designers throughout the development of a product by drawing their attention to the different steps they must consider in order to design an additive manufactured optimised part.

增材制造具有许多优势，特别是在创造力和设计自由度方面。但是，这项新兴技术正在破坏设计的方式，而创造力通常会受到多年传统制造过程中安装的认知障碍的限制。同样，由于该制造过程是相对较新的，并且对于设计人员而言还相当陌生，因此在设计阶段并不总是考虑其特殊性，这导致制造的零件在尺寸或表面质量方面与CAD模型有所不同。因此，现今逐层制造的微波组件没有表现出可操作的电磁性能。通过这种方式，
