Software tools, knowledge of materials and processes, and data provide three pillars on which Additive Manufacturing (AM) lifecycles and value chains can be supported. These pillars leverage efforts dedicated to the development of AM databases, high-fidelity models, and design and planning support tools. However, as of today, it remains a challenge to integrate distributed AM data and heterogeneous predictive models in software tools to drive a more collaborative AM development environment. In this paper, we describe the development of an analytical framework for integrated and collaborative AM development. Information correlating material, product design, process planning and manufacturing operations are captured and managed in the analytical framework. A layered structure is adopted to support the composability of data, models and knowledge bases. The key technologies to enable composability are discussed along with a suite of tools that assist designers in the management of data, models and knowledge components. A proof-of-concept case study demonstrates the potential of the AM analytical framework.
