Restored version of the Fritz Lang classic containing an extra 25
minutes of new footage previously thought lost. Lang's acclaimed
vision of a 21st century city is widely held to be one of the
greatest films of the silent era. In the year 2000, industrialist
John Frederson (Alfred Abel) rules over a giant city where the
workers exist only as an underclass. They call for rebellion, but
their leader Maria (Brigitte Helm) urges them to wait for a
mediator. When Frederson kidnaps Maria and replaces her with a
robot replica, the workers are incited to revolt.

Silent film noir set in the 1920s in post-WW1 Germany. Dr Mabuse
(Rudolph Klein-Rogge) is a sinister and mesmerising criminal with
the ability to worm his way into the confidences of the rich and
influential, and wield his power over men and women alike. He
builds up a deadly gang of counterfeiters, thieves and murderers
who will do anything for him, and aims to gain control of the stock
market through his hypnotic methods of theft and blackmail. His
dastardly methods are so successful that he is gradually taking
over the whole of Berlin... until he comes up against the plodding
and methodical Detective Wrenk, whose subconscious seems to be less
easily won over.

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.
