Using 3D Density-Gradient Vectors in Evolutionary Topology Optimization to Find the Build Direction for Additive Manufacturing
Given its layer-based nature, additive manufacturing is known as a family of highly capable processes for fabricating complex 3D geometries designed by means of evolutionary topology optimization. However, the required support structures for the overhanging features of these complex geometries can b...
