Título: Advances in Topology Optimization for Metal Additively Manufactured Components  

Resumo: Topology Optimization (TO) has become a powerful tool for enhancing structural design; however, the resulting structures often exhibit significant geometric complexity, which poses challenges for conventional subtractive manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers a natural alternative for producing such complex designs, motivating the development of TO formulations specifically tailored to AM processes. Nevertheless, metal AM introduces its own manufacturing constraints, such as overhangs, which must be considered during the optimization process to obtain high-quality and manufacturable designs. Various strategies have been proposed to address these challenges, ranging from purely geometric constraints to formulations that explicitly account for the physical aspects of the layer-by-layer manufacturing process. In this context, the talk presents advances in TO formulations for metal AM developed by our group over the past few years, highlighting the use of physical formulations.
