Conclusions
MDO Optimized MED Hinge for Production through Additive Manufacturing
Martin Muir
1. Topology optimisation can achieve significant weight savings even when applied to
heavily constrained, lightweight structures.
2. The use of structural optimisation in conjunction with additive manufacturing (AM) can
yield significant savings beyond the scope of those achievable through the isolated use of
each technology alone.
3. The use of additive manufacturing for the construction of topology optimised designs
subjected to high cycle fatigue must be carefully considered
4. Material, process type, build orientation and post processing are critical factors for any
fatigue loaded component created using PB AM. This is especially true for TO structures
created with PB AM.
5. Solving for minimum mass could not produce a feasible design under all constraints until
allowable stress levels were raised beyond the safe limits for production via AM.
6. The topology optimised design shown in this presentation could not be cost effectively
produced using any manufacturing other than Electron Beam Melting Powder Bed AM
coupled with HIPing and polishing.
