OPTIMISATION.
TOPOLOGY OPTIMISATION IS A TOOL FOR ENGINEERS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE THE PRODUCT DESIGN PHASE OF A PROJECT, WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS USING TRADITIONAL COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD) TOOLS.
This process can be used to replace existing components with a specific goal, such as reducing mass. All traditional manufacturing techniques can be catered for, but it also opens the door to maximising the efficiency through 3D printing.
We are no longer constrained by the parametric modelling techniques associated with CAD packages, using sub-division modelling techniques we can generate geometry that is more efficient in less time.
As with all good design – the devil is in the detail and without a good fundamental understanding of structurally loaded components and the ability to fine tune the input criteria of an optimisation run you are unlikely to maximise the benefits of this technology.
NS85 is highly skilled in using software and interpreting its output to create designs that are more efficient in less time. Our strength is in our ability to communicate and integrate cohesively with the software that we work with.
