Abstract:Additive manufacturing enables the realization of complex component designs that cannot be achieved with conventional processes, such as the integration of cellular structures, such as lattice structures, for weight reduction. To include lattice structures in component designs, an automated algorithm compatible with conventional CAD that is able to handle various lattice topologies as well as variable local shape parameters such as strut radii is required. Smooth node transitions are desired due to their advan… Show more
