Adopting feature resolution and material distribution constraints into topology optimisation of additive manufacturing components

Additive manufacturing (AM), known for its ability to manufacture complex shapes, is becoming an essential companion of topology optimisation (TO) to optimise the structure. However, the topology-optimised structure may result in suboptimal performance or even have features, which are difficult to m...
