9th Applied Sciences Webinar
Additive Manufacturing and Topology Optimization of Microstructures
Topology optimization is the modern approach for flexible optimal design of structures and microstructures. Additive manufacturing, known also as rapid prototyping or 3D printing makes feasible the creation of structures of any shape and topology, including microstructures. Exchange of information between the two disciplines, the state of the art development and expected steps for the near future is the topic of the present webinar.

On Tuesday 7th February 2023 , MDPI and the Journal Applied Sciences organized the 9th Webinar entitled “ Additive Manufacturing and Topology Optimization of Microstructures”. This online seminar was chaired by Prof. Dr. Georgios E. Stavroulakis from the Institute of Computational Mechanics and Optimization, School of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete, Chania, Greece. , Dr. Loucas Papadakis from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Frederick University, Nicosia, Cyprus, and Dr. Ioannis Ntintakis from the school of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Hellenic Mediterranean University, Iraklion, Greece.
The chairs were joined by three experts in mechanical engineering whom all presented on the topic of Topology optimization. The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend.
