Design optimization for an additively manufactured automotive component

The aim of this paper is to investigate the design optimization and additive manufacture of automotive components. A Titanium brake pedal processed through Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is considered as a test case. Different design optimisation techniques have been employed including topology optim...
