Generative design and parametric / topological optimization of cellular structures bio-inspired by additive manufacturing

2022

Biomimicry is the practice of learning from nature and imitating its different functionalities. Nature proposes complex forms and objects which inspired designers and engineers to conceive and find solutions for their engineering problems. The fabrication of these complex objects is particularly assured by the different Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Generally, biomimicry can be addressed at different levels, forms, textures, and behaviors, but in AM, it is presented under two main types. The first is the customization of parts (medical prosthesis, implants or custom sport equipments). And the second consists in the optimization for specific properties such as stiffness and lightne…
