Since Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques allow the manufacture
of complex-shaped structures the combination of lightweight
construction, topology optimization, and AM is of significant
interest. Besides the established continuum topology optimization
methods, less attention is paid to algorithm-driven optimization
based on linear optimization, which can also be used for topology
optimization of truss-like structures. To overcome this
shortcoming, we combined linear optimization, Computer-Aided Design
(CAD), numerical shape optimization, and numerical simulation into
an algorithm-driven product design process for additively
manufactured truss-like structures. With our Ansys SpaceClaim
add-in construcTOR, which is capable of obtaining
ready-for-machine-interpretation CAD data of truss-like structures
out of raw mathematical optimization data, the high performance of
(heuristic-based) optimization algorithms implemented in linear
programming software is now available to the CAD community.
