Abstract
The aim of this work is to follow the entire value chain of a mechanical metallic hydraulic module that is produced with the additive manufacturing process called Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF). Different software is used: Siemens NX 12 and Altair Inspire 2019 for CAD, Siemens NX Nastran 12 and Altair Inspire 2019 for FEA and topology optimization, and Materialise Magics 21.11 for support structure creation. A comparison between the software used for CAD, FEA analyses and topology optimizations is presented. The customer provides all the technical information related to the component to perform a structural FEA. After the definition and extension of the design space, loads and constraints are applied on the non-design space and a topology optimization with Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method is performed.
Afterwards it is necessary to rebuild the component with freeform and bionic shapes, making sure that all the parts are connected
