A Topology Optimization Method for Stochastic Lattice Structures

Abstract Stochastic lattice structures are very powerful solutions for filling three-dimensional spaces using a generative algorithm. They suitable 3D printing and well appropriate to structural optimization mass distribution, allowing high-performance low-weight structures. The paper shows method, developed in the Rhino-Grasshopper environment, distribute until goal is achieved, e.g. reduction of weight, harmonization stresses or limitation strain. As case study, cantilever beam made Titan alloy, by means SLS technology has been optimized. results work show potentiality methodology, with performing structure low computational efforts.
