Creating Lightweight Parts, and Identifying and Fixing Potential Failures with Simulation
Welcome to Chapter 3. One of the main benefits of additive manufacturing is the ability to create lightweight parts. In this chapter, we will cover various tools we have within Fusion 360 for lightweighting parts and creating organic-looking models that we can 3D print. We will start by highlighting how to utilize the automated modeling capabilities within the design workspace to generate design alternatives. We will discuss the differences between automated modeling and generative design. Next, we will utilize shape optimization within the simulation workspace to create lightweight and structurally efficient components. We will conclude the chapter by ...
