Study for the selection of design software for 3D printing topological optimization

摘要

This works exposes de criteria considered in the selection of an appropriate design software when optimization is included as one of the objectives of the design and productive process. Different approaches to optimization concept are identified. Main aspects for topological optimization are exposed and then analyzed on different software. Finally, obtained optimization results are shown and compared, and when it is possible, the exportable model for 3D printing is included and analyzed.
