Topology Optimization Design for Cast and Injection-Molded Parts

Creating lightweight components through topology optimization can be challenging when the part becomes more complex, making it difficult to use traditional manufacturing methods such as metal casting and injection molding.

In nTop, we’ve introduced new constraints that can help you reduce the mass of parts that need to be cast or molded.

In this video, Yuki Okada, Technical Marketing Specialist at nTop, shows you how to set up a topology optimization using the new de-molding constraint. He will also show you how to use the inputs within the constraint to create a single-draw, split, or custom-draw mold.

Watch and learn how to:

• Set up ‌topology optimization with the de-mold constraint.
• Create a single-draw, split, or custom-draw mold.
• Add draft to the final part and export.
