Additive design and manufacturing: topological optimization and lattice structure
Program Overview
Program Overview
The Conception and Fabrication Additive: Optimisation Topologique et Structure Treillis program is a 4-day course offered by Grenoble INP - UGA. The program focuses on the design and manufacturing of complex products using additive manufacturing techniques.
Presentation
The program is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and manufacture products using additive manufacturing techniques. The course covers the theory and application of topological optimization, as well as the use of specialized software and equipment.
