Methodology for Streamlining L-PBF Additive Manufacturing and Reviewing Automation Potential

Course Project
Methodology for Streamlining L-PBF Additive Manufacturing and Reviewing Automation Potential

A structured workflow connecting topology optimisation, meshing, and L-PBF print preparation.

A research project proposing a unified design methodology for Laser Powder Bed Fusion. The work threads CAD, FEA, topology optimisation, and automated print preparation into a single, repeatable pipeline. The goal of the project was to promote automation and reduce iterations and design time.

The project resulted in a literature review, workflow proposition and project report - available for download at the end of this page.
