Topological Optimization of Metal Parts

Details

Find out how Solidform, an industry pioneer in the casting prototype business that has manufactured investment and sand castings for the aerospace industry since 1980, was able to reduce an aerospace component's weight by 65% while maintaining structural integrity. By optimizing this one part, they were able to achieve a fuel cost savings of nearly half a million dollars over the lifetime of an aircraft fleet.
