" ... slash 45% of greenhouse gas emission by 2030."

how GEARED up are you?

Are you focussing only on the manufacturing aspect?

What about the design?

Design for additive manufacturing

topology optimization

• weight reduction
• material wastage
• costs

• performance
• efficiency
• product life cycle

In applied mathematics,

"Topology optimization is a mathematical technique that seeks to find the optimal distribution of material or structural layout within a design domain, subject to certain constraints, in order to maximize or minimize a specific objective function, often related to performance, cost, or efficiency."

• democratize the state-of-the-art
• enable more efficient engineering designs
• made for engineers, not numéricien
• reduce the product development time
• reduce the design iterations
