Assessment of Computer-Aided Design Tools for Topology Optimization of Additively Manufactured Automotive Components

The use of Topology Optimization techniques has seen a great development since the last decade. The principal contributor to this trend is the widespread use of Additive Manufacturing technologies to effectively build complex and performant structures over different settings. Nevertheless, the use o...
