摘要

This research explores how adding a smart design idea called “topology optimization” to 3D printing can boost Industry 4.0. This work looks at how this robust concept works with 3D printing, making parts stronger and lighter by using materials more wisely. Four parts are manufactured with different composite materials and manufacturability is assessed after topology optimization. Manufacturability assessment is performed on the basis of material required, cost and manufacturing time. The article discusses real-world examples, challenges, and exciting possibilities, aiming to give a clear picture of how topology optimization is shaping the future of product design and manufacturing in order to gain sustainability and manufacturability in Additive Manufacturing.
