Topology optimization of a robot adapter

Why is time to increase the use of topology optimization for weight reduction, combined with other techniques to achieve a promising strategy? Learn hot to create truly lightweight parts that benefit cases in which weight reduction is of importance.

This case study describes on of Stork’s recent R&D endeavors, the author describes the steps, methodology, and decisions to redesign a conventional product to a lightweight high performance product using topology optimization and 3d printing of metal.

Ultimately, Stork seeks to build empiric and theoretic knowledge to prepare for their 5 year outlook to sell, manufacture, and install 3d-printing capital turbine components.
