Incorporating draw constraint in the lightweight and self-supporting optimisation process for selective laser melting

Li, Zhonghua; Zhang, David Zhengwen; Peng Dong; Küçükkoç, İbrahim; Bai Peikang (Springer London, 2018)

Due to the manufacturing ability of selective laser melting (SLM) in complex lightweight structures resulting from topology optimisation (TO), SLM and TO are considered to be the best combination. However, support structures ...
A lightweight and support-free design method for selective laser melting

Li, Zhonghua; Zhang, David Zhengwen; Dong ,Peng; Küçükkoc, İbrahim (Springer London Ltd, 2017)

Topology optimisation is an effective approach to design extreme lightweight components. However, most of the resulted optimum lightweight components usually have complex structures which cannot be produced successfully ...
