RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Pollak, Martin A1 Kascak, Jakub A1 Torokova, Monika A1 Kocisko, Marek A1 Dobransky, Jozef T1 Topological Optimization of a Supporting Part of a 3D Printer Pad JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2020 VO 20 IS 4 SP 492 OP 499 DO 10.21062/mft.2020.067 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-202004-0010.php AB Generative design is one of the most promising means of new product development in the world. It allows formation of organic structures that brings various benefits, e.g. in the form of savings of material and production costs. Generative design includes several types of technology, topological optimization included. The paper addresses the technology of topological optimization implemented on the support part of the 3D printing pad. The result of optimization is the creation of a new, more suitable design concept through the Altair Inspire optimization software.
