Adding a New Dimension to Glass Giants: Development of a Three-Dimensional Topology Optimization Algorithm for Mass-Optimized Cast Glass Components

This thesis is part of a larger ongoing research project at the TU Delft regarding structural glass as a novel construction material. Here, the focus is directed towards the casting of glass to create complex free-form geometries. Thus far, only smaller components have been created, but a multitude of previous student work explored how the...
