Propuestas para la optimización de piezas para fabricación aditiva

Abstract

Additive manufacturing allows greater freedom and new
possibilities for designers. Thus, at the manufacturing stage,
additive manufacturing has very few geometrical limitations in
comparison with traditional manufacturing process.
In that context, the optimization of the designs grows in
importance. Both topology and multi-objective optimization
are fields of great interest as links between the Computer Aided Design of pieces and the new additive manufacturing
technologies. But these kind of approaches have problems
related to the non continuous work flow during the
optimization process.
This work exposes an initial aproximation to topology and
multi-objective optimization of pieces obtained by 3D printing
by using the solvers included on the software Grasshopper,
which work through structures designed by graphic computer
programming. Then, 3D models of the pieces are analyzed in
order to determinate the resistance and service behaviour
of the optimized designs, and the pieces are obtained by 3D
printing in order to check their printability.
