Complex and Lightweight Shapes Made Feasible with Altair HyperWorks SUCCESS STORY: smart City In 2016, Zaha Hadid and its Computation and Design research group (Zaha Hadid co|de) collaborated with Stratasys – a renown 3D printing company – to research the potential of 3D printing and topology optimization for their projects. They conducted a study for the design and fabrication of a 3D printed chair. To optimize and ensure feasibility of their design, they applied topology optimization methods using Altair HyperWorks, a software suite for computer-aided engineering, and worked with Altair Engineering to integrate advanced optimization techniques into their workflow. By integrating 3D printing and topology optimization into the design workflow early on, new complex shapes become
