Overhang angle control and optimal part orientation in topology optimization for additive manufacturing

Overhang constraint in topology optimisation for additive manufacturing: A density gradient based approach

This research aims at improving the synergy between 3D printing and topology optimisation. 3D printing, more formally known as additive manufacturing, forms an object by constructing successive layers on top of each other. This procedure of manufacturing offers new possibilities due to the improved design freedom. Topology optimisation is a...
