Additive Manufacturing is a great booster for topology optimization. It makes complex geometries accessible to designers, encouraging unpredictable new high performance designs. In this sense, our group focusses the efforts in the following topics:

• Porous structures. Taking advantage of the capacities of Additive Manufacturing, our research team develops new approaches to optimize the infill of a solid part and multiscale structures.

• Overhang constraints. Development and application of overhang constraints for additive manufacturing topology optimization processes. The goal is to obtain high performance ready to print designs, eliminating the so call support structures during the additive manufacturing processes.
