Furthermore, the objects in combination with the cards are more effective at stimulating the generation of a wider variety of designs than the cards alone...

.... Therefore, designers must adopt a “dual” design mindset—emphasizing both, opportunistic and restrictive DfAM—when designing for AM. However, to leverage AM capabilities, designers must not only generate creative ideas for AM but also select these creative ideas during the concept selection stage. Design...
