Additively manufactured conformal cooling channels through topology optimization

Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization
AbstractCooling channels play a critical role in various casting and molding processes, impacting both the cycle time and quality of the product. As additive manufacturing technologies become increasingly prevalent, conventional straight-drilled channels are being progressively substituted by intricate cooling lines that conform to the contours of the ...
