Topology Optimization vs. Generative Design

Design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) goes beyond design for manufacturing (DFM). It's not just about creating a part that can be 3D printed, but one that takes advantage of 3D printing's unique benefits. Senior Editor Stephanie Hendrixson discusses how generative design and topology optimization are used in DFAM with Eric Miller, cofounder and principal of Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies (PADT). ---------------------------- Additive Manufacturing magazine began in 2012 as a supplement to Modern Machine Shop magazine.
