Topological optimization
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000390
A computational design method that determines the optimal material distribution within a given design space for a specified set of loads and boundary conditions. The process aims to maximize performance, such as stiffness or strength, while minimizing material usage. This often results in organic, lightweight structures that are highly suitable for additive manufacturing.
