I tried creating an internal lattice to maintain the strength of 3D printed models while reducing weight! Part 1

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. The theme of Vol. 15 is "Creating an internal lattice that maintains strength while reducing weight!" This time, as the first installment of "Maintaining strength and reducing weight in 3D printed models through analysis," we created print data for the model and infill based on stress analysis using CAE. First, we analyzed a hook-shaped model under load using "ANSYS Discovery." Then, we challenged ourselves to create data that strikes the right balance between strength and weight reduction by changing the infill rate in areas with high and low stress. "Is this much infill really necessary? The printing time and material costs add up!" "That said, I don't know how much weight reduction is acceptable." We will explain whether it is possible to achieve a balance between strength and weight reduction, a common concern for users of FDM 3D printers, along with actual analysis content and comments from our technical staff! *You can download the materials from the button below.
