Concurrent Build Direction, Part Segmentation, and Topology Optimization for Additive Manufacturing Using Neural Networks

Hongrui Chen, Aditya Joglekar, Kate S. Whitefoot, Levent Burak Kara ASME. J. Mech. Des. September 2023; 145(9): 091702.  https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4062663 We present a new, neural network based topology optimization method that concurrently addresses three important aspects of design for additive manufacturing: (1) Automatically segmenting a monolithic part into smaller partitions to reduce print cost,  (2) Optimizing the […]
