Researchers from Canada and China have created a new technique for improving 3D printing, outlined in the recently published ‘Topology Optimization for Multipatch Fused Deposition Modeling 3D Printing.’ The authors point out that as digital fabrication progresses further, new design rules are emerging, as well as constraints. These are related to supports and post-processing, size … Read more

Additive Flow Goes Adds Additive Awareness to Generative Design

feat-33950-pasted-image-0

A new startup has emerged from stealth mode promising a software capable of aiding designers in enhancing their parts for additive manufacturing (AM) in ways that go beyond generative design and topology optimization. Additive Flow’s newly announced FormFlow software is meant to allow engineers to quickly modify their models for AM in ways that maximize … Read more
