Using new computational methods, it is possible to raise optimization to a higher level than with static, dynamic, plastic or impact analysis studio and to create parts which are possible to manufacture with SLM technology, for example.
Topological optimization offers a new concept of structural design focused on those applications where the weight of the component is crucial (aerospace industry).
The topological optimization is a structural analysis technique. It is based on the mechanical analysis of a part or structure and its main objective is to reduce the structure of the part maintaining its mechanical properties. 3D Printing brings out the full potential of topologycal optimization.
