    Abstract: A method of generating a distortion-compensated geometry for a workpiece includes generating a green body part geometry for the workpiece, discretizing the green body part geometry into a green body part mesh and performing a first sintering analysis on the green body part mesh to generate a post-sintering mesh based on the green body part mesh, the post-sintering mesh including a plurality of post-sintering mesh nodes. The method also includes co-registering the post-sintering mesh and a model mesh having a geometry corresponding to the three-dimensional model, the model mesh including a plurality of model mesh nodes. For each of the plurality of post-sintering mesh nodes, a displacement between a post-sintering mesh node and a corresponding model mesh nodes is determined, and the green body mesh may be adjusted based on the displacement to generate the distortion-compensated geometry.

    Abstract: A method and system to receive a specification defining a model of a part to be produced by an additive manufacturing (AM) process; define a design space to enclose the part and a support structure for the part, the support structure to support the part and printed with the part during the AM process; execute an iterative topology optimization(TO) based at least in part on the specification for the part and the defined design space, to generate a TO support structure that counteracts predicted gravity-based distortions during the AM process; save a record of the generated TO support structure; and transmit the record of the TO support structure to an AM controller, the AM controller to control an AM system to generate an instance of the part and the TO support structure based on the record.
