🖨 "Ok, but… Is #AdditiveManufacturing really worth it?" In the past years I have heard this question a lot, and I can finally answer: definitely, YES! Especially, with a team of engineers like the one I was part of for the Politecnico di Milano course of "Additive Manufacturing for Space and Aerospace Applications". 📄 The course, held by professors Tommaso Ghidini, Ph. D. and Matteo Bugatti, is a deep dive in the AM process and its challenges in the #space #industry, some of which we had to go through ourselves for the course project: the structural optimisation of the support connector for the "Adaptateur de Charge Utile" of the #VEGA launcher. 🏆 I am super proud to say that our design stood out among the others, and won the final #competition! 🎯 In less than a month, we ran multiple topological optimisations in parallel, until we reached a satisfactory output, which was then further optimised for the AM process. The final result? See for yourself: a stunning, almost organic structure exhibiting great performances, and, most importantly, a 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟳𝟱% 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Now, if we - Andrea Caushi, Saksham Chaturvedi, Stefano Cogliati, Matteo Cupaioli - managed to obtain this results at our first approach with the technology, imagine what could come next! - Some details - Software used: Altair Inspire Autodesk Netfabb Material: #AlSi10Mg Powder If you'd like to know more, feel free to contuct us.

Hi LinkedIn family, did you know that Dassault Systèmes simulation platform SIMULIA 3DEXPERIENCE has all the high end capabilities, advanced material models, contacts, connections and post processing techniques that are very much required for modern day structural simulations? To add more to your surprises, it's the same platform which can perform fluid dynamics, motion studies, thermal analysis and plastic injection molding simulations too. And this doesn't stop here. It's all tightly integrated with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment. Well, that sounds quite interesting. Now obvious question is, does any other engineering platform offers so many things under one roof? The answer is even more obvious..."NO" Get in touch with Pelf Infotech Pvt. Ltd. or click on www.pelfinfotech.com for more details. #advancedsimulation #fea #engineeringdesign #solidworks #dassaultsystemes #analysis #cfd #productdevelopment #cae #pelfinfotech #3dexperienceworks

FlowMorph is a research project developed in the Bartlett School of Architecture. They departed and elaborated on the idea of Mixed Reality (MR) Assisted Manufacturing (MRM) for highly complex geometry, which can neither be effectively managed manually by the fabricator nor by simple conventional robotic fabrication (Brugnaro and Hanna, 2017), proposed an MR Simulation workflow using a CFD solver. The proposed fabrication process explores a specific material- Polycaprolactone (Polymorph)- researching and developing a combination of specific digital simulation methods to assist the exploration of the material in question in the production of an eventual artifact. This augmentation in the making process affords intuitive exploration in the interlaced making and designing - an enhanced reflection in the design practice. The aim of the research is inspired by the increase in new design tools and practices. Since the methods which architects produce the design are no longer expected to be limited to a simple process, this exercise confronts the complexity of using digital and physical protocols to explore the use of adaptive ’unexpectedness’ of the digital generative design, relating to previous research on design ’glitches’ as a trigger for further critical production and novelty (Austin, 2017). The idea of ’material templating’ as a key step in the design project demands a closer coupling of a ’make-simulate’ feedback system in reflective practice. In this particular project, the plastic used leads to investigate a wide variety of applications of plastic in highly digitalized design.
