Infill Optimization for Additive Manufacturing—Approaching Bone-Like Porous Structures
Infill Optimization for Additive Manufacturing—Approaching Bone-Like Porous Structures
Porous structures such as trabecular bone are widely seen in nature. These structures are lightweight and exhibit strong mechanical properties. In this paper, we present a method to generate bone-like porous structures as lightweight infill for additive manufacturing. Our method builds upon and extends voxel-wise topology optimization. In particular, for …
