Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two
decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has developed rapidly since its inception in the 1980s. AM is
perceived as an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology and has already …

This work grew out of rapid developments of topology optimization approaches and
emerging industry trends of “3D printing” techniques, the latter bridging to a large extent the …

In metals additive manufacturing (AM), materials and components are concurrently made in
a single process as layers of metal are fabricated on top of each other in the near-final …

This paper presents a new method to fabricate 3D models on a robotic printing system
equipped with multi-axis motion. Materials are accumulated inside the volume along curved …

Abstract 3D concrete printing can be used to build many complex structures. However, due
to its material properties in the fresh state, it is difficult to construct overhanging structures …

There is significant interest today in integrating additive manufacturing (AM) and topology
optimization (TO). However, TO often leads to designs that are not AM friendly. For example …

The anisotropy of mechanical strength on a 3D printed model can be controlled in a multi-
axis 3D printing system as materials can be accumulated along dynamically varied …

This article addresses one of the major constraints imposed by additive manufacturing
processes on shape optimization problems–that of overhangs, ie large regions hanging over …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has the potential to completely reshape the manufacturing
space by removing the geometrical constraints of commercial manufacturing and reducing …
