A Topology Optimization Algorithm Based on the Overhang
The integration of topology optimization(TO) and additive manufacturing(AM) has the huge potential to expand the design freedom of parts. However traditional topology optimization approaches are not tailored to the particular characteristics of AM processes resulting in a large number of overhangs in these designs which lead to use of sacial support structures and increase the

Recent advances and future trends in exploring Pareto
Topology optimization (TO) is a powerful technique capable of finding the optimal layout of material and connectivity within a design domain. However designs obtained by TO are usually geometrically complex. Such complex designs cannot be fabricated easily by conventional manufacturing methods. Therefore additive manufacturing (AM) a free-form manufacturing technique is extensively coupled
