Topology Optimization Eases Additive Manufacturing Design -- A Few Questions For: Frustum http://ift.tt/2ngYgCc Frustum and Siemens announced a new partnership at the beginning of this week, as topology optimization comes to NX software customers. While additive manufacturing offers the unique ability to create incredibly complex geometries, the right tools are still necessary for the job in the form of the right software that can make best use of what 3D printing hardware can potentially create. As Siemens continues to step up its game in this field, it turned to Frustum and its Generate platform to enhance optimization capabilities. Because sometimes “it just works,” cutting out the complexity in design can also cut back on barriers that have been in place in such processes. This is exactly what the Siemens NX module for Design Topology Optimization is set to address, and we wanted to know more on this front. We turned to Frustum’s CEO, Jesse Coors-Blankenship, to get the larger picture on what this collaboration can offer to design in AM, as we had A Few Questions For him to learn more. What barriers do you see in the way of design for additive manufacturing processes? How does this solution work to take those barriers down?
Aerospace, automotive and heavy machinery are noted as industries set to particularly benefit from this integrated software solution; what makes it a standout for these fields?
How has the partnership with Siemens been for Frustum?
How does Frustum address the idea of topology optimization as it relates to additive manufacturing?
What else should we know about the partnership/software/Convergent Modeling?
We will certainly be staying tuned here at 3DPrint.com! Don’t forget you can also benefit from Coors-Blankenship’s expertise as he leads a course on the voxel in our Advanced Design for 3D Printing course, starting next week: “The session will focus on cutting edge use of optimization techniques in design and engineering for additive manufacturing.” Who better to learn from than a leader in design optimization? We’re looking forward to continuing to share his expertise and insights. Printing via 3DPrint.com https://3dprint.com March 29, 2017 at 03:03AM
