Lightweight design considering the generated stress and the thickness of the member. Here is an example of applying shape optimization to the table leg.

Here, we will perform shape optimization on the table legs, minimizing the volume while ensuring that the Mises stress does not exceed a specified value. In shape optimization, we can optimize based on Mises stress or maximum principal stress. Additionally, by applying symmetry conditions, we will conduct the analysis using a quarter model of the entire structure. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software equipped with both "topology optimization functions" and "shape optimization functions.

Topology optimization is useful for the initial layout design of products due to its nature of creating holes in the model. On the other hand, shape optimization modifies the surface shape of the model, allowing for the evaluation of not only rigidity but also stress, making it beneficial for the detailed design of products. In this case, after performing topology optimization on the lower arm to determine the layout shape, shape optimization is conducted on the resulting solid model to obtain a detailed shape that meets rigidity and Mises stress constraints. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software that includes both "topology optimization functions" and "shape optimization functions.

Topology optimization is a method that expresses the optimal shape based on the density distribution of materials while keeping the mesh of the analysis model fixed. Here, we perform topology optimization with "mirror symmetry" set for the monitor arm, seeking an optimal shape that is highly rigid and symmetrical under four different analysis conditions. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

"HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software that features both "topology optimization" and "shape optimization" functions.

In shape optimization, you can set a "designable area" as a manufacturing constraint. By using this feature, you can limit shape changes to ensure that they do not extend beyond the specified designable area. Additionally, even if the initial shape already extends beyond the area, you can modify the shape to fit within the designated area. Here, we will perform shape optimization for link components with a set "designable area," minimizing the volume while keeping the maximum displacement below the constraint value and within the bounds of the designable area. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

"HiramekiWorks" is a structural optimization design software that features both "topology optimization" and "shape optimization" functions.

Topology optimization using the level set method can yield clear optimal structures without grayscale. Additionally, it provides results that accurately satisfy the given volume constraints, allowing busy designers to utilize structural optimization in product design more easily, without struggling to interpret the optimization results. Here, we present an example of applying topology optimization using the level set method in the structural examination of delivery drones. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

Cataracts are a common condition that significantly impacts daily life, causing many people to struggle. However, cataract surgery can restore or greatly improve patients' vision. KNF vacuum pumps are an essential component of the medical devices used for such precise surgeries. KNF offers a diverse lineup of diaphragm pumps for cataract surgery. For debris removal, the N 813 is a strong option. It achieves a maximum vacuum of 0.5 mbar (absolute), a maximum flow rate of 13 l/min, and a maximum pressure of 0.3 bar (relative). The N 813 provides stable, reliable performance with a compact design. It can be equipped with a customizable state-of-the-art BLDC motor that enables precise flow control. Its configuration and motor allow for low-speed operation, ensuring the necessary flow rate and vacuum for cataract surgery while reducing noise and vibration.
