Workshop: 3D Printing of lattice structures & Topology optimization & Implementation projects
Showcasing industrial solutions with lattice structures via additive manufacturing
26. 2. 26 @ VTP COMTES (Prumyslova 1299, 33441 Dobrany)
Agenda:
9:00 Registration & Coffee
9:20 Industrial motivations for lattice structures and topological optimization in practice (M. Hien, THD)
- Why lattice structures and topology optimization matter in industry
- Real industrial drivers (weight, function, cost)
- Where companies typically fail with lattice designs
9:40 Lattice Structures in AM: Polymers vs. Metals (E. Olivera-Apaza, THD)
Design and manufacturing limits of lattice structures
- Strut-based vs. TPMS structures
- Differences between polymer and metal AM
- Design rules that actually work in production
10:00 Testing & Validation of Lattice Structures (J. Fousek, COMTES FHT)
From simulation to real behaviour
- Mechanical testing results
- Stiffness, strength, damping, energy absorption
- Simulation vs. printed reality
10:20 Topology Optimization & Biomimetic Concepts (M. Urbánek, COMTES FHT)
Combining topology optimization, lattice structures and multimaterials
- Where topology optimization adds value
- Biomimetic inspiration for damping and functional grading
- Multimaterial concepts
10:40 Coffee Break & Focused Networking
11:10 Moderated Joint Discussion & Collaboration Setup
From technology to collaboration
11:45 Cooperation on implementation projects / Individual consultations
12:45–14:00 | Lunch & Networking / Lab tour / End of workshop
