Application of layout optimisation to the design of additively manufactured metallic components

Additive manufacturing (`3D printing') techniques provide engineers with unprecedented design freedoms, opening up the possibility for stronger and lighter component designs. Such designs can be developed using structural topology optimisation, a method that computationally designs minimum mass...
