Topological Optimization and Generative Design

Metal 3D printing opens new opportunities for creating parts whose shape is dictated not by manufacturing limitations but by design intent and required strength and size characteristics. Topological optimization, generative, and "bionic" design are modern design approaches that reveal the full potential of additive technologies.

The brackets produced through layer-by-layer synthesis from aluminum alloy, used in satellites and scientific equipment for space research, provide the required strength and rigidity while being 30-40% lighter, which is critically important for the payload of space vehicles.
