Structure Design and Process Planning aor Additive Manufacturing

Abstract:

Systematically discusses the state-of-the-art research of parts design for additive manufacturing from the aspects of structure design with topology optimization, mesoscopic structure, parts integration, fluid pipeline and heat exchanger, and the aspects of process planning with toolpaths, buliding direction, multi-axis construction and curved layers. On this basis, AM parts integration design, multi-scale heterogeneous cellular structure design, performance-oriented process planning and process planning for continuous carbon fiber reinforced composites as the potential development directions were proposed.
