Topologieoptimierungen ermoeglichen die funktionsgerechte Gestaltung von Hochleistungskomponenten, resultieren jedoch zumeist in komplexen Bauteilgeometrien. Die Additive Fertigung ist aufgrund der moeglichen grossen Gestaltungsfreiheit besonders fur die Herstellung solcher Komponenten geeignet. Es gilt jedoch die prozessseitigen Restriktionen der Additiven Fertigung zu berucksichtigen, um die Herstellbarkeit der Bauteile sicherzustellen. Eine direkte Integration der Restriktionen in die Topologieoptimierungen erhoeht dabei die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Konstruktion. In der Arbeit wurden neue Methoden zur Stoffschlussigkeit, der Vermeidung von geschlossenen Kavitaten sowie die Vermeidung von nicht selbststutzenden Kanalen erforscht.
