Topology optimization for 3D printing??

[akl1123]

Has anyone use topology optimization in their 3D printing process?

I'm looking to improve my designs with topology optimization. Has anyone tried Autodesk, Altair, or Frustum? Any feedback on these three products? Any other products I should be looking at? Thanks!!!

Take a look at Geomagic Wrap; it has a lot of tools for topology optimization. What exactly do you need to improve in your models?

Thanks Andrew! I need to reduce the weight of my models while keeping the structural requirements.

Have you used any of the topology optimization platforms by Autodesk or Altair? Do you know how Geomagic Wrap stacks up against them?

Sorry, I haven't used those products. If you have, give Wrap a try and let us know how it compares.
