Maximizing the Potential of Additive Manufacturing with Design Optimization Success Story Keywords: Topology optimization, additive manufacturing The excitement around 3D printing or “additive manufacturing” (AM) has been growing exponentially with little sign of slowing down. The process of creating an object by layering material instead of subtracting it from a larger block is often cited as having the potential to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. As a result, companies from across a broad set of industries are attempting to find the potential impact that AM could have on their design and manufacturing processes. This is certainly true of the aerospace industry which has taken a leading role in the development, implementation and industrialization of AM. Thales
