This design utilizes both the Topology Optimization and Lattice Structure Optimization modules on Altair Inspire.

As with the previously shared Drone Arms, the legs were designed by our very own Irfan Rasli.Īs you can see in the video, the new design is not only 13% lighter, but also has a 25% higher Safety Factor! And most importantly, looks much cooler in our opinion.

Today we will be sharing our newly designed #F450Drone Legs with you. #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Altair #CAE #SLM Stay tuned for Part 2 - Support Optimization later this week. Today we'll be sharing how Altair Inspire is your cost-effective solution for SLM and future Binder Sintering Metal 3D Printing.ĭesign, optimize and manufacture by the same person on the same software.Ģ)Dynamic motions can be easily simulatedģ)Analyze loads on individual joints to validate performanceĤ)Select the part to print with its assigned materialĥ)Select a printer available from the library, or define a custom printerĦ)Multiple options are offered for optimal part orientationħ)Quickly calculate and plot best and worst orientationsĨ)Optimize the print to minimize time, supports, or deformationĩ)Select a point on the heatmap to optimizeġ0)Individual heatmaps can be selected independentlyġ1)Undercuts can be easily highlighted on the partġ2)Move the part on the bed and get ready to print
