The use of topological optimization tools at the design stage allows the engineer to quickly determine the theoretical appearance of the designed product of minimum weight on the basis of the results. This is ensured by the fact that the stage of finding the shape and design of the product is replaced by the process of its topological optimization. The use of additive manufacturing technologies changes the process of technological preparation, and, in contrast to the writing of the technological process on the basis of two-dimensional drawings of design documentation, is to compile a set of control commands (eg, G-code) based on the designed three-dimensional model of the product to control the 3D printer.
