MANUFACTURING SYSTEM USING TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION DESIGN SOFTWARE, NOVEL THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING MECHANISMS AND STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE MATERIALS

摘要

The invention disclosed herein integrates several technologicalconcepts: novel three-dimensional accretive manufacturing mechanisms andprocesses; combinations of fibre materials with plastics, typicallythermoplastics, inaccretive manufacturing (three-dimensional printing, for example);position awareness for manufacturing control systems; and computer-aideddesignoptimization processes with novel feedbacks.
