Abstract: A modification of a topology optimization formulation for part-level generation is provided such that it includes additional constraints that ensure that the inertial quantities (e.g., COM, Mol, and mass) of an automatically generated part are equivalent to specified targets. These targets are the inertial values used in an initial assembly-level simulation. The reaction and external forces acting on the part of interest resulting from assembly-level simulation provide the boundary conditions used for part-level generation. By constraining the inertial properties in this way, there is no need to evaluate the assembly-level dynamics each time a part is generated.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for analyzing trapped unused materials during AM. For example, given a geometry or shape to be manufactured using one or more AM materials, a tool path for solidifying the one or more AM materials is generated to turn the geometry into a physical object based on one or more manufacturing parameters related to AM resolutions. A processing device may compute a simulated manufactured geometry (e.g., a realistic representation of the actual shape of the corresponding physical object to be produced) based on the tool path and the one or more manufacturing parameters. The processing device analyzes the simulated manufactured geometry for a portion of removable AM materials trapped inside the simulated manufactured geometry. The processing device then generates a report regarding the portion of the removable AM materials trapped inside the simulated manufactured geometry.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for automatically generating shapes (e.g., geometric representations) of two or more interacting objects based on arbitrary motions specified for the two or more interacting objects. In an example system. the system receives specifications of motions or movements of two or more objects and the associated design spaces and generates collision-free shapes for the two or more objects while the two or more objects undergo the specified motions. As such, the system solves for unknown or undefined shapes based on desired motion profiles. For example, given respective movement or motion characterizations of two or more objects, such as at least one of a function translation or a function rotation over time in at least one of the three axes in a Euclidean space, topology optimizations may be performed to generate the respective shapes or geometric representations of the two or more objects.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for automatically modifying shape features related to overhangs such that support structures can be reduced or avoided. In an example, a shape modification processing device may obtain an initial shape and relevant production information (e.g., overhang angle threshold). The shape modification processing device may modify the shape to improve various aspects of production, including reduction or removal of the need for support materials or structures during additive manufacturing, with considerations that allow the modified portion (e.g., added features) be accessible for removal by subtractive manufacturing. For example, the shape modification processing device may modify a model to reduce or remove support structures needed during production. The added features may later be removed by subtractive manufacturing to restore any functional or desired shape.

Abstract: A systematic approach to constructing process plans for hybrid manufacturing is provided. The process plans include arbitrary combinations of AM and SM processes. Unlike the suboptimal conventional practice, the sequence of AM and SM modalities is not fixed beforehand. Rather, all potentially viable process plans to fabricate a desired target part from arbitrary alternating sequences of pre-defined AM and SM modalities are explored in a systematic fashion. Once the state space of all process plans has been enumerated in terms of a partially ordered set of states, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) planning techniques are utilized to rapidly explore the state space, eliminate invalid process plans, for instance, process plans that make no physical sense, and optimize among the valid process plans using a cost function, for instance, manufacturing time and material or process costs.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system for determining a hybrid-manufacturing plan for manufacturing an object. During operation, the system can obtain a set of hybrid-manufacturing constraints for manufacturing the object. The set of hybrid-manufacturing constraints can include a set of primitives, a set of atoms, and an atom end-state vector. An atom can correspond to a unit of spatial volume of the object. A primitive can represent an additive or a subtractive manufacturing process corresponding to one or more atoms of the object. Next, the system can determine a plurality of feasible hybrid-manufacturing plans based on the set of hybrid-manufacturing constraints. Each feasible hybrid-manufacturing plan can represent an ordering of the set of primitives that satisfies the atom end-state vector. The system can then determine costs for manufacturing the object using the plurality feasible hybrid-manufacturing plans. The system can determine, based on the costs, an optimized hybrid-manufacturing plan for manufacturing the object.

Abstract: A computer is provided with a geometric representation of an as-designed part and a set of hybrid manufacturing capabilities. The computer computes a set of additive and subtractive manufacturing primitives from the provided set of hybrid manufacturing capabilities, and intersects the primitives to generate an atomic decomposition of space. The computer uses the atomic decomposition to generate a non-geometric representation of a space of manufacturable parts with hybrid manufacturing capabilities in at least one of symbolic, logical, and combinatorial forms. At least one of a necessary, sufficient, or necessary-and-sufficient condition for manufacturability is tested via examining the non-geometric representation for the existence of at least one feasible process plan whose outcome is an as-manufactured part that is interchangeable with the as-designed part.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system for determining a hybrid-manufacturing plan for manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC). During operation, the system can obtain a set of hybrid-manufacturing constraints for manufacturing the IC. The set of hybrid-manufacturing constraints can include a set of primitives, a set of atoms, and an atom end-state vector. An atom can correspond to a unit of spatial volume of the IC. A primitive can represent an additive, subtractive, or a mixed manufacturing process corresponding to one or more atoms of the IC. Next, the system can determine a plurality of feasible hybrid-manufacturing plans based on the set of manufacturing constraints. Each feasible hybrid-manufacturing plan can represent an ordering of the set of primitives that satisfies the atom end-state vector. The system can then determine costs for manufacturing the IC using the plurality feasible hybrid-manufacturing plans. The system can determine, based on the costs, an optimized hybrid-manufacturing plan for manufacturing the IC.
