Borunda, Luis; Guevara, Manuel Ladron de; Anaya, Jesus

Article:

The following article extends and tests computational methodologies of design toconsider Finite Element Analysis in the creation of optimized infill structuresbased on regular and semi-regular patterns that comply with the geometricalconstraints of deposition. The Stress-Deformation relationship manifested inFinite Element Analysis is structured in order to influence the geometricalarrangement of the complex spatial infill. The research presents and discusses aprogram of performance informed infill design, and validates the generalizabilityof a method of internalizing and automating Finite Element Method (FEM)processing in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) workflows, and testsmanufacturability of the methods through its ability to handle the FDM processconstraints of FEM influenced intricate geometries.
