A genetic algorithm based topology optimisation approach for exploiting rapid manufacturing's design freedom

Current product structures are designed to meet predefined specifications and are thereforer arely optimal. Instead, they are frequently over-engineered to ensure fitness for purpose, which results in excess weight and uneven stress distributions throughout their structures. Designs are then often c...
